Feet of gold

Long before the Olympics started, UVic had its own double gold medallist. Ceremonies manager Helen Kempster, above, struck gold twice at this year’s B.C. Seniors Games held in Kelowna, Sept. 7 to 9. Kempster had a personal best time of 34 minutes, 56 seconds to win the 5K race walk. She was also first in her category in the 10K race walk. Kempster needs to be fleet of foot since she organizes up to nine convocation ceremonies each year along with assorted other special events on campus.
