JUNE 3, 2023 · EAST REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP · VARSITY T&F

What seemed like an eternity back in March has finally arrived as the final stage before the OFSAA Championships came upon us. After countless hours of mental and physical preparation, our athletes stunned once again with their marvelous performances.

Junior athlete Rowyn Serne once again kicked things off in the 200m Dash. Serne clocked a beautiful 27.16s in the final beating her previous record by just ONE MILLISECOND!! Hey, a wins a win and we love to see our records fall!

Senior athlete Nathaniel McNeil closed things off on Day 1 in the 400m hurdles. McNeil crossed the line in a time of 59.44s to claim a new School Record, Senior Record as well as a 3rd place finish in his division. This performance sees this young man straight through to the OFSAA High School Track and Field Championships next week.

During an action packed 2nd day of competition, 3 more records come crashing down by a trio of spectacular junior athletes. Augustine Uche brought his A-game as he breaks his OWN School Record in the 100mH with a time of 16.05s. Uche equally holds the new Junior Boy's Record. Quick to follow suit, newbie Madilyn Nichol storms her way to a new Junior Record with a time of 13.07s in the 100m Dash. This comes just 1 WEEK after she broke the previous record, and this speedster surely has lots more to give. Finally, Rowyn Serne ends of her junior season on a high note as she breaks Jessica Harmsen’s 11 YEAR OLD 400m Dash School Record with a mark of 1:03.05s. This performance also earns her a new Junior Record. These juniors are truly unstoppable!
