PRINCE RUPERT, B.C. An athlete from South Hazelton will be competing in the Tokyo Olympics later this month. 25-year-old endurance runner Regan Yee qualified for the Tokyo Olympics in late June, when she ran the women s 3000-metre steeplechase in 9 minutes and 27.54 seconds at the Classique D athlétisme de Montréal. Not only did this time immediately qualify her for the competition – the qualifying time for the Olympics is 9:30:00 – but she also broke a Canadian record by over two seconds.
