More than 40 Lions headed to OFSAA Championship

With high school athletes from Peterborough to Hawkesbury battling their way through two days of competition at Kingston’s CaraCo Field for the vaunted trip to OFSAA, more than 40 Lions athletes emerged successful. Among the athletes moving on are six previous OFSAA medalists led by Sharelle Samuel and Joe Fast who were each double medalists a year ago.
Samuel, a senior at Ashbury Collegiate, was dominant in victory over both the 400m and 400m hurdle disciplines. The future Harvard Crimson runner smashed former Lion Bailey Lewis’ regional record in the senior girls 400m by nearly a second and a half to win in 54.59 seconds. The time also betters the IAAF World Junior standard. Samuel also set a new standard in the 400m hurdles, nearly cracking the 60 second barrier in a time of 60.09.
Joe Fast, continued to live up to his name, taking home victories in both the junior boys 1500m and 3000m distances in comfortable fashion. Fast will certainly enter his second OFSAA track and field championship has a favourite in both events as the defending midget boys 1500m champion and a two time OFSAA cross country champion.
Another medal favourite next week at OFSAA will be Louis Riel student, Caroline Poirier. The grade 12 student added 36cm to the 10 year old senior girls pole vault record with a clearance of 3.50m. The defending OFSAA bronze medalist now holds both the junior and senior marks for the east region.
