Athletics Ontario hosted it’s first event of the year this weekend at the Toronto Track and Field Centre. With more than 500 athletes in attendance, we saw some incredible performances. There were new personal bests, provincial records, and some firsts for a number of athletes.
We are lucky to have had 3 of the recently nominated 2018 Commonwealth Games Team Canada athletes come out to compete; Brittany Crew, Tim Nedow, Pierce Lepage. Each of these three put on some great performances, coming out on top of their respective event categories. Brittany Crew threw 16.77m in the women’s open shot put and Tim Nedow threw 19.84m in the men’s open shot put.
We also had the pleasure of watching Pierce Lepage compete in a number of events across the weekend. He began by running the Men’s 60mH in a time of 8.3 seconds. He also competed in the Men’s Open Pole Vault and Shot Put.
We are excited to watch these three travel to Australia in April to represent Canada, and Ontario!
AO bore witness to a few new Indoor records set this weekend. Josh Linington, of Brantford Track and Field Club, set a new provincial record in the U16 Boys Weight Throw with a throw of 19.73m. The previous record was set in 2014 by Christian Janzen, a distance o 19.47m.
Aysia Maurice, of 310 Running, set a new provincial record in the Midget Girls U15 2000m with a time of 6:43.34. The previous record, 6:43.70 was held by Madison Greig, set in 2015. Aysia additionally holds the Bantam Girls U14 record in this event.
In the U16 Girls Tetrathlon, Izzy Goudros came just 55 points shy of breaking the AO Indoor record. Her points total of 2,724 was extremely impressive. Izzy does currently hold the U15 Girls Indoor record in the event.
The U14 Girls Tetrathlon was officially introduced for the age group as of this year, so we are pleased to announce that Erika Lealess of London Western Track and Field will hold the U13 Girls record, with 1,259 points, and Elise Sawyer, of Monte Cristo Track Club, will hold the record for the U14 category, with 2,032 points. Congratulations ladies!
