TRK - OUA Championships: Day #2
On day two of the OUA Championships in Windsor, five Voyageurs were back in action.
The women's 600-metre event was up first for Kristen Mrozewski and Sarah Booth. Mrozewski finished in 18th, with a time of 1:40.50, while Booth finished in 21st in 1:41.60, a new personal best.
Right after was the men's 600-metre event, with Brandon Radey racing for the Vees. Radey finished 24th, with a time of 1:27.13.
The women's triple jump was up in the field events, with Shelley Hladin participating. Hladin finished in 16th place, jumping 10.67 metres.
The men's 1500-metre run was the last event, with Keon Wallingford representing Laurentian. Wallingford finished the race in 4:03.17, placing 17th.
"It was great to see Keon place in the top 10 this weekend," noted head coach Darren Jermyn. "Due to the pandemic and then issues with injuries, this was Keon's first OUA Track & Field Championship since 2020. He has worked extremely hard to get back to running at an elite level and to see him jump seven places from his ranking coming into the championship was very rewarding for both Keon and the program," said Jermyn.
"Shelley had an impressive rookie season as a Vee. She broke the school record in the long jump twice during the regular season and then placed three spots better than her ranking this weekend," he said.
This meet concludes the indoor track and field season.
