ChrI.topher Bovie photo CP athiete is right on track B yChris Bvie Paul Ccox always had the desire te participate in sports- despite b.ing born with oerebral palsy. Cox, 17, a student at General Vanier Secondary School, was a]ready involved in a variety of sports when he was introduced te track by coach Jeffimpson. Simpson recently died, at the young age cf 32. Now Ccx wants te compete in track net only te achieve personal bests, but aise for the memozy cf Simpson. Cempeting on a national level, Ccx doesn't have the same high tech equipment, such as the rac- mng chair, as have many cf the other athietes. But determina- tien has helped him overceme an bstacles. x Me ted in the Disabled Games in Étobicoke on the week- end, taking part in the 400 metre and shot put. Postingpersonal b.sts in each categorye,Cox captured the silver in the 400m with a strong finish. Personai achievements rank higher than b.ating competitors Mi speNcial games, but the train- ing and desire is at a maximum. Cox trains with the Durham Hotwheels, a team cf disabled athietes. Much time is spont on upper body conditioning and Ccx sometimes trains three days a week and is pl anning te compote in, Miami- if hocan frd a local sponsor. The most important aspect te competing for Cox is possessing the right attitude. "You reaily have te -want it. Just do your best and have more drive and desire.» Like other athietes, ho finds that competing in a large forumi- can b. nerve-wracking.- «We didn't get muchl sleep the night before, but once P'm on the track 1 shut everything else eut and focus on the race." Ccx aise enjoys playing rugby, one cf bis favorite sports. Theres ne bitterness when Ccx says ho probably wouid be playingjhockey if ho wasn't hand- icapped.Ho has turned his atten- tion tewards what ho can do, striving te make a mark at the international bevel. «I plan te participate until I can't do it anymore.» doors toStmdui Doors te sveral Whtby and Durham.
