By C. Scott Holland Triathlons are a physically and mentally demanding sport, but back in 1990 they were extremely popular for people of all ages. That year Leamington hosted its 5th annual “K” (kids) triathlon with over 150 competing in different age groups. The late August event over a fast, flat course was challenging and even moreso because of hot, humid weather. The run, swim and bicycle races were done according to age. In the youngest group - age 8 and under category - Kendra Hunter and Lindy Waslyniak along with Jessica Scratch were the ones battling it out for the top spot. Gregory Jacina was beaten by Michael McIscaac of Oakville, creating a tie of 400 points on the season series. Terri Ann Schwage and Jeff Moracci dominated in the 9 and 10 year-olds, while Christina Bronte and Jody McGee took gold as they prepped for the Canadian National Championships, which would be held in Toronto in late September. There was plenty of local representation as the Kniaziew family occupied the podium with siblings Blaire and Duffy taking medals, along with
