Torrential downpours were the theme of this championship. But, this is the outdoor season and the show must go on! Phil Parrot-Migas and Chris Balestrini kicked off the weekend going 1-2 in the Senior Men 5000m, followed closely by Kevin Blackney and Jack Sheffar, who finished 4th and 7th. Balestrini followed up on Saturday with a silver medal in the 3000mSC, to cap off his double-silver weekend. On the senior men's side, more medals came from Taylor Stewart (Bronze) in Pole Vault, Ruach Padhal (Gold) in 800m and Mark Bujnowski took silver in discus. Kevin Strybosch took home gold and silver in the para senior men's shot and discus, respectively.
On the junior men's side, World Junior team member, Marcel Scheele won gold in the 3000mSC in less than ideal conditions, with Kyle Farquharson chasing and taking bronze. Josh Mather was golden in javelin, followed by newcomer Jared O'Riley in the silver spot. Eric Gareau was bronze in the 800m and Athony Atkinson was bronze in hammer throw.
Jack Trott-Mcdermott was our lone medalist in the U14 category with a silver in the tetrathlon.
On the senior women's side, Caroline Ehrhardt continues her comeback from injury to take gold in triple jump, looking strong with a 13.32m. Also in the pit, Katie Flemington was gold in LJ, nearly breaking the 6m mark with a 5.98m. Brooke Hoxar was gold and silver in discus and shot put, respectively. Katty Abran took home the most medals and was triple bronze in the 100/200/400m wheelchair races.
