Master athlete of the month

The 85-year-old Edmonds senior rewrote the record in the 60-metre dash on two separate occasions, while also setting a new mark in the 200m. Lesage ran a record time of 10.68 seconds in the short sprint at the Harry Jerome Meet in Richmond on Feb. 7. He also clocked a 39.76 time in the 200m at the B.C. masters championships in Kamloops on Feb 15, where he also broke the Canadian record in the 60m, but with a slower time than his pending record. The previous national records were 12.08 and 43.61, respectively.
