Sim outpaces national competition

Sim raced her way to the top of the podium at the Legion National Youth Track and Field Championships in St. Therese, Que., last weekend.

Glynis Sim is at it again.

Sim is coming off a recent sixth-place finish in the 2,000-metre steeplechase final, and shattered her personal best time by seven seconds with a time of 6:45:58, at the recent International Association of Athletics Federation’s World Youth Championships in Cali, Colombia.

Fatigue was not a factor as the ever-competitive 17-year-old raced her way to the top of the podium at the Legion National Youth Track and Field Championships in St. Therese, Que., last weekend.

The gazelle-like runner settled for the silver medal in the 1,500-m steeplechase event.

In her premier event, the 2,000-m steeplechase, Sim claimed the gold medal.

An hour later, she was back on the track, as she participated in the first leg of Team B.C.’s 4X400-m team, which placed fifth.
