New Westminster teenager Nina Schultz was one of 11 record-setters at last weekend's Legion Canadian youth track and field championships.
The 15-year-old New West Spartans club athlete set a new provincial, Canadian and Legion championship meet record in the midget girls' pentathlon at McLeod Park in Langley.
Schultz won three of the five disciplines to post an overall record score of 3,332 points, beating Vancouver Island runner-up Makayla Hoey of Oceanside Track by more than 200 points.
Kiera Greenaway of Edmonton came in third, more than 300 points back.
Schultz placed first in the 80-metre hurdles, high jump and long jump, and fifth in both the shot put and the 800m in the five discipline multi-event final.
Shultz's winning 1.63m leap in the high jump would have earned her a silver medal in the individual event at the Legion nationals.
She also had what would have been a top-four leap in the long jump at 5.22m. Her 12.15 clocking in the hurdle sprint would have also put her in the individual championship final. St. Thomas More Collegiate junior Zion Corrales-Nelson also set a new championship midget mark in the girls' 200m, winning the event in a sub-25-second time of 24.53.
Shultz and Corrales-Nelson also teamed up for the gold in the Team B.C.'s record-setting 4x100m relay, which came home in a winning time of 47.69.
Four other B.C. athletes set new championship meet records in Langley.
Chicago Bains won the midget girls' 80m hurdles in 11.48.
Chanell Botsis tossed the hammer 55.21m to set a new midget girls' record.
Jasper Schiedel recorded a new Legion standard of 3,257 in the midget boys' pentathlon, and Natasha Akbarizadeh won gold in the youth girls' hammer throw with a toss of 56.21m.
