Roeder hopes she‘s saving her best for the CWOSSA championship at Cenâ€" tennial Stadium starting today, while gearing up for another run at OFSSA. Resurrection‘s Maddie Buttinger also continued her steady assault on the record books as she helped lead her Resurrection Phoenix squad to the overall Districtâ€"8 title. She won gold in the senior girls high jump, 100â€"metre hurdles and 400â€"metre hurdles. â€" _ "I just run and jump," said Roeder "I base it on my quickness." _ "We just get some huge leadership from her and the other senior and junâ€" ior girls," said Resurrection head coach Tom Fitzgerald. "The coaches are just so impressed by what the kids are able to do. "They step up right away and are so willing to do it." 0 But it was some of the unsung heroes that helped Resurrection win its second straight Districtâ€"8 title, like Adrienne Wilson who won three golds in the junior girls in the 800 metres, "We went to Rowland Games a month ago and I was looking for a kid to step up and see if she could give me a really good leg in a relay," said Fitzgerald.

Palmer is one of those natural athletes who seems to excel at whatever he does. He‘s also willing to â€" help _ the Knights win titles in whatever area they need whether it‘s with the junior football team or Blueâ€" vale‘s swim team. On the track he added gold in the midget boys javelin and the 800 metres, and a silver in the 300â€" metre hurdles. "I like to do a variety of things," said the Grade 9 student.
