Saanich athlete Sarah Kedves won two golds and a silver and was named the most inspirational athlete at this year’s Vancouver Island Track and Field Championships in Port Alberni on Wednesday and Thursday.

Kedves, a home schooled Grade 12 student competing on behalf of the South Island Distance Education School (and an aspiring figure skater who trains at the Canadian Sports School at PISE), was named the most inspirational senior girl.

Kedves won the senior pole vault (2.45 metres) and high jump (1.55m) and was second in the triple jump (9.9m) behind Rebecca Dutchak’s 11.14m.
