Three members of the Prince George Blizzard Speed Skating Club will get their first taste of national competition a week from today at the National Short Track Speed Skating Championships in Ottawa.
The trio of Sarah Pousette, Alexis Gaudet and Tim Hempsall qualified at the B.C. Provincial Championship which were held in Kelowna earlier this month.
“It went well [at provincials],” said Hempsall. “I got third and the second race I got a DQ and I had to come back from that and in the third race it looked like a tie and we had the same time but the race judges put me in first.”
