  meet last weekend at Massey Place and is looking at the very real possibility of going back to SFU this fall with a track and field scholarship waiting for her.
     “At school they decided to try me at the 800-metre and now it’s all I do this year,” says McGregor.
     But running at the intercollegiate level is a world apart from competing at northern meets, even ones as large as the Spruce Capital Meet, with 415 athletes from all over British Columbia.
     “It was very scary and nerve-wracking,” says McGregor of the first few times she competed with the SFU track team. “But it was fun. There was a lot of competition and new experiences. You see people running so much faster you get psyched to race.”
                                     For McGregor, a meet like this weekend’s is a chance to take a breath and simply enjoy the sport that she’s learned to love again.
                                      “It’s a lot less pressure. You don’t have to win for anyone but yourself.” And McGregor can probably use the relaxation of a less competitive event after running in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics meets which draw together runners from both Canada and the US. It’s a high level of competition that Luci says she never would have reached without the support she received from her coaches and friends in the Prince George Track and Field Club.
     “I wouldn’t have gone anywhere without them. They got me where I am. Especially Tom, he was the one who kept me running when I was ready to quit.”

     □ Records are made to be broken, just ask 13-year old Julianna Nusse who destroyed the 8-year-old track club record of 5:07 in the gir l’s 1500-metre with a time of 5:04. “I was trying to get 5:08 for a new personal best. I was happy when I found out I’d broken the record,” says Nusse.
     □ Dylan Armstrong of Kamloops was another gold winner at the meet, beating all challengers to take first place in the men’s hammer throw, men’s shot put and the open discus.
     □ Local 13-year-old sprinter Tijan Pinnock followed up his winning performance at the elementary track and field meet by winning gold in the 100-metre for his age division at the Spruce Capital Meet.
