Ian Clark runner to beat Ian Clark and John Lancaster Lancaster chases Clark to the wire pulling away from the rest of the field with quick middle laps So tar no other runs have been able to stay close to them The result baa been excellent times for caster Had he been entered In the senior boys events for either of the races he would nave been an easy winner Ian Is a good friend It like a goal to shoot for every race he a great runner and I happy to be on the same team as he ia Lancaster said At any other school In Peel Halloo and the majority of the ones In the province Lancaster would be the number one middle distance runner there still receives recognition from the coaches and friends however EVERYONE The coaches Donna Metcalfe and Karen Cosgrove give everyone the same amount of recognition and treat everyone as a winner Lancaster said Somenights times a week lan and 1 run together I personally try to run to SO miles a week Lancaster said Lancaster has been run ning competitively now for and a hay years and his major Immediate goat ia to try to make the Canadian Junior Cross country team a I team that Clark was on this By SILL HUMPHREYS Jon Lancaster one of the finest runners to Ontario has not had the of breaking the winning string too often in his young career because in many races be la pitted against teammate Ian Clark a Canadian champion However Lancaster 17 and in grade at does not mind following his teammate to line because he thinks In the long run It will make him a better competitor Having Ian In the same race always gives me something to aim for Lancaster said Every race catching Ian is something to aim for BIG LEADS In the recent Halun and championships Clark was a clearcut winner of both the 1500 and metre races However his advantage over Lancaster second in the races was not nearly as clear as the leads Lancaster had on the com who finished third The closest Lancaster has come to catching Clark this year was In the metre race Is the Peel Heltons In that race Clark won in a time of four minutes flat while Lancaster was ap proximately two seconds behind him In both the and races Lancaster a strategy was to stay with Clark for the majority of the race The two runners have a tendency of starting and then Georgetown district high school best chance of winning a championship crown at the OFSAA track and field championship this year definitely lie with Junior runner Ian Clark Clark will lead a con tingent of IS Rebels to the Regional Qualifying meet to be held in Niagara Falls tomorrow In checking winning times of other meets across southern Ontario Clark who did not have sparkling times at either or Peel should be a tough runner lo beat in the Junior division Clark said he Is not worried about his times Times have not really mattered at all so far Clark seriously challenged In either the 1 or 3 metres events so far said Clark said he still expects Dennis Stark of Belleville to be among his main challengers by the time OFSAA rolls around Another junior runner has recorded very good times and been an easy winner so far this year Is Dave of West Humber So far this year has set new Metropolitan Toronto records in the 1 M0 and 3 time or Clark best or that event in the school season so far came in the Peel where he was clocked at However Clark has faster times than that this year In the senior indoor he hod a of which stands as a Junior mark In the event In the senior In which Clark finished firth behind four senior aged runners the pace was unreal Clark said The winning time strictly depends on what Ihe pace Is set that ia why limes haven really meant anything so far Clark has faced Reid who Is a first year Junior three times and come out ahead of him on all three occasions However Clark said he expects the West runner to be somewhere near the top at OFSAA CHEAT RACES Clark has had several great races with his Stark in the past Last year at when they were both first year Juniors Stark beat Clark in the but Clark was ahead of Stark in the 1 500 Both duels were classics Stark has not defeated Clark since that 3 000metrea race Another Georgetown runner who should be
