BC Athletics is very pleased to announce the appointment of Chris Winter to the position of Track & Field Technical Manager. In accepting this position, Chris will have the responsibility to manage and lead, together with BC Athletics Committees, Clubs, Coaches and Supporting Agencies, the ongoing development of Track & Field in British Columbia.
Chris comes to this position following a very extensive and successful Track & Field career that had its origin in North Vancouver with the NorWesters Track & Field Club and culminated as a member of Canada’s 2016 Rio Olympic Games Team where he competed in the 3000m Steeplechase.
“This is a great opportunity and a position that I am excited to take on,” said Chris in accepting the position. “My retirement from competitive Athletics was not a move away from the sport but rather to pursue an opportunity in a new role in Athletics where I can refocus my passion and experience for a sport that has given me so much,” concluded Winter.
