Harrison Almrud's athletic career is on the run. The 12-year-old from Tsawwassen has been recognized by B.C. Athletics as one of the best for his age group. In the high jump pit, Almrud's top leap of 1.50 metres achieved the B.C. Standard and currently ranks him in the top three of the province.
On the track, he place second in the 1200 metre race, with his clocking of 3:59.07 ranking in the top 10 of alltime. The Southpointe Academy student also thrives in cross-country and earlier this month won his age group at the Canadian Championships held in Vancouver. The result came on the heels of Almrud participating in a series of races that saw him place second overall and included a win at Whistler where he also thrives on the slopes as an avid snowboarder.
He participated in his first Vancouver Sun Run at the age of eight and completed the 10km course in 47:59.
Almrud trains with the South Surrey-based Ocean Athletics track and field club.
