Douglas College Teams Are Tops

continued from Ist page

Precisely why the performance has been so successful to date varies
from team to team. Expectations were high for the badminton team, cur-
rently four points ahead of Vancouver Community College in a seven-
team league, after the team reached the nationals last season and
Canadian champion player Sian Deng returned.

“We knew badminton would be very strong but with the other
teams we were a little more sceptical because we didn’t know how
strong the other schools in the conference would be,” says Dalcanale.

Clearly, Douglas’ size and the ability to recruit from large and athleti-
cally strong suburban high schools gives the college an edge against
schools such as Malaspina, ‘Trinity Western, Selkirk and Cariboo. There’s
also a closer proximity to the border for more exhibition games with
highly competitive U.S. college teams.

Still, local rivals such as BCIT, Fraser Valley College and VCC enjoy
similar opportunities. The difference, Norman and Dalcanale agree,
comes down to recruiting, coaching, a bit of luck — and timing.

I'd like to think our reputation for dealing with people fairly as
adults helps attract athletes,” offers Norman. “And in our team’s case,
there’s also our tradition of being ranked nationally for the last six years.
Success builds on success.”

But, cautions Dalcanale, success in programs which can keep ath-
letes only two or three seasons is a transitory thing. “Last year VCC had
the superior program, so it fluctuates back and forth,” he says. “This
hopefully is just our year to beat them.” &
