With the Track and Field season nearing its halfway point this weekend, Campbell River’s high-flying Comets are showing off some early season success after the first two of five meets this season.

Last weekend a small but strong team of 12 Comets athletes competed at the annual Dogwood Invitational meet in Victoria. Nine year old Kaylie Lofstrom, in only her 2nd meet of since joining the Comets this year, led the medal haul with 5 gold and 1 silver in her events. Not to be outdone, her older brother Ryan Lofstrom took home 4 golds and 2 silvers in his events.

There were other notable performances from Victoria Hoffman who won 4 golds in her events with her older sister Elisabeth taking 3 golds and 1 silver. Mom Stefanie (and Comets coach) competed alongside Kathleen Wright in the masters category showing the young athletes that Track & Field is lifelong sport.

Stefanie finished with 2 golds, 1 silver, and one 4th place finish in her events while teammate Kathleen finished with 2 golds and 1 silver. Kathleen’s son, Logan competed in three events in the JD13 category, achieving silver in all three.
