Day 4 from the snowshoeing competition is in the books and Team Canada is shinining bright.  The first 2 heats of the day produced the first 2 gold medals from Marinka and Leaha in the 800m race.  That was followed by Jean-Francois destroying the field for Gold and Michael coming in for Silver and Adam Wakeman putting in a strong 6th place in his heat.

After the 800s were over, the 100’s started and there was more to come.
Brian Dinwoodie - Bronze
Austin Horrox - 6th
Robert McLellan - Gold
Ed Wallace - Silver
Courtney Cook - 5th
Carrie Froese - Silver
Sandra Hunt - 4th
Catia Miele - 5th
Then in the 4×400s, the Mens Team of Darrell Robinson, Alex Shankel, Adam Wakeman and Robert McLell hauled in a solid Silver.  The women’s team of Sandra Hunt, Marinka Van Hage, Leaha Van Steelant and Bridget Colvin scored a very respectable Bronze against 3 other mixed gender teams.

That was the day that was over here in snowy Idaho.  We’ve have beautiful weather through out the week.  The weather even cooperated enough to part the skies for the evening’s fireworks.  You just couldn’t ask for better.

Tomorrow, the finals for the 400, 1600 and 4×100s are being run.  It promises to be another exciting day!
