Interesting note:  
Tevor was injured for the 98 school season and part of the 98 summer (lumbar 
strain). His off-season training/rehab went very well; he spent the winter 
running with the sprinters and learning to hurdle to improve both his speed 
and flexibility.  He worked extremely hard, he even was seen "losing his 
lunch" at more than one practice.  He was on the WLTC team that won a 
Bronze Medal at the Legion Provincial in the Juvenile Boys 4x200m.
