Adeleye and Telford bring home bronze from USports Championship

by linkinbioNationalUniversity

The 41st edition of the USports Track and Field Championships wrapped up Saturday at the Irving Oil Fieldhouse in St. John, New Brunswick with much to celebrate. While the championship marked the return of the national event after a one year hiatus due to pandemic restrictions, it was also the first time the event had ever been held on Canada’s east coast. With a pair of bronze medals and another two fourth place finishes, it was a successful weekend for the Lions athletes.

Taking home the first medal of the weekend was David Adeleye in the 60 metre hurdles. The second year student at the University of Toronto, posted a time of 8.15 seconds in the final to narrowly edge out the next three finishers, who all crossed the line with four hundreds of a second of David. 

In the heats, Adeleye posted the fastest time of his career – a blazing 8.07 seconds. The time makes the Ashbury graduate the sixth fastest in Club history. 

A five time relay medalist at Canadian age class championships, Alexandra Telford snagged her first individual medal on the national stage with a bronze in the 300 metres. Running a Carleton University record of 38.69 seconds in the slow section of the timed final, Telford had to wait a few minutes for the fast section to go before her spot on the podium was confirmed. 

Thomas Senechal-Becker had his eyes on a podium spot heading into Friday night’s high jump final, but would settle for fourth place. The first year student at the University of Ottawa entered ranked third with a best of 2.05 metres, but struggled with misses at his early heights and was able to go no higher than 2.02 metres on the day. 

Similarly to Senechal-Becker, Sydney Smith narrowly missed the podium as well. The OUA 600 metre champion finished an agonizing four hundredths of a second out of third. Smith sat in second, with a narrow lead over eventual champion Sadie-Jane Hickson of Guelph at the bell before quickly pushing to the lead on the backstretch. She would maintain the lead through most of the final corner before it appears she is bumped and ends up swinging wide out into lane two as she enters the straightaway. Fighting for the line, Smith was out leaned in the final metre for bronze. 

Smith’s meet was not over, as she would finish the Championship by helping the Gee-Gees 4×400 metre relay team to a seventh place finish. The quartet, which also included Doyin Ogunremi, Frédérique Bell, and Hannah Frazer posted a time of 3:54.71 – their second fastest of the season. 

The final top eight finish came from shot putter Brianna Asiamah. The third year student at the University of Ottawa managed a best throw of 12.31 metres to place eighth in her first USports Championship. 

Other Lions results from the Championship include:

Paulina Procyk & Helena Jovic (Toronto) 4x200m – 9th 1:44.74
Vanessa Lu Langley & Audrey Gilmour (McGill) 4x200m – 11th 1:57.53
Will Cox (Dalhousie) 3000m – 12th 8:37.96
Robert Mitchell (Calgary) 4×800 – 11th 7:56.68
Helena Jovic (Toronto) 4x400m – 5th 3:53.20

USports Championships kick off today with 14 Lions in action

by linkinbioNationalUniversity

For the first time in two years, Canada’s best university athletes are gathering in New Brunswick for national bragging rights and some glittering hardware. The USports Track and Field Championships start today in St. John at the recently built Irving Oil Fieldhouse and continues through Saturday.

A total of seven Lions varsity athletes representing the University of Ottawa and Carleton have made the trip out east for the Championship where they will be joined by seven other Club members representing their respective universities.

The University of Ottawa is led by OUA Champion Sydney Smith who looks to add national champion to her running resume in the 600 metres and will also run anchor on the Gee-Gees 4×400 metre relay team. Smith enters the heats of the 600, which take place today at 6:30pm eastern, as the top seed.

Joining the medal hunt for the Gee-Gees is Thomas Sénéchal-Becker in the high jump. The first year accounting student boasts a best of 2.05 metres this season, which ranks him third in the country heading into this weekend’s competition. The OUA silver medalist jumps for gold Friday night at 4pm.

Brianna Asiamah enters Friday night’s shot put competition ranked 10th in the country. The third year social work student will be pushing for a spot in the final when action goes Friday night at 6pm.

The Gee-Gees 4×400 metre relay team will be running in the fast section of the timed final Saturday afternoon. The quartet of Doyin Ogunremi, Frédérique Bell, Hannah Frazer, and Sydney Smith just missed out on a medal at the OUA championships and are eager to show the country just how fast they can go when the gun goes off at 3pm on Saturday.

Carleton University’s lone entry in this year’s championship is Alexandra Telford. The architecture graduate student is among the medal favourites when competition in the 300 metres gets underway on Friday – having posted the third fastest time in the country while winning the RSEQ Championships two weeks ago.

Telford had qualified in the 60m hurdles as well, but dropped the event to focus on the 300, as the hurdles are also scheduled for Friday. It will be a tight turnaround for the 300 metre field with the heats scheduled for 4:50pm and the final set to go just 110 minutes later at 7:40.

A trio of Lions will be representing the Varsity Blues of Toronto this weekend. David Adeleye will contest the 60 metre hurdles, where he enters with the sixth fastest time. The duo of Paulina Procyk and Helena Jovic will run on the Blues 4×200 metre squad, with Jovic also featuring on the 4×4 team as well.

Leewinchell Jean, a third year student at the University of Windsor, will line up for his second USports Championships this weekend. A finalist in the 60 metre hurdles two years ago, Jean will only contest the 4×400 metre relay this weekend for the Lancers as an injury hampered early season preparation in his marquee event.

In tonight’s 4×200 metre relay heats, Vanessa Lu-Langley will pass the baton to clubmate Audrey Gilmour as the pair represent McGill University. The Martlets enter the championship with the sixth fastest time in the country this season.

Rounding out the field of Lions is Will Cox, representing Dalhousie University. Cox will run the 3000 metres for the Tigers Friday night at 5:50pm. The AUS Champion enters the championship ranked 13th.

Robertson sets new Club U23 steeplechase standard

by linkinbioNationalUniversity

When Kevin Robertson opened his 2022 outdoor season on Friday night in Raleigh, North Carolina, it was in an event we haven’t seen him run in a while – the 3000 metre steeplechase. The 2019 Canadian U20 champion had not contested the event since capturing his only national title three years ago. A combination or COVID and lyme disease kept him away from his favourite event, but he returned like he had not missed a step.

The Syracuse University junior placed 12th in the Raleigh Relays with a U23 Club record of 8:53.53 – a full 20 seconds faster than his Canadian championship winning time and Club U20 record.

“Yep it felt pretty natural getting back into it,” noted Robertson after his run. However, he’s confident there is much more in store for him this season. “I only started steeple practice a week ago so I feel like I have a lot of room to improve this season. Just cleaning up my form should help me run a lot faster.”

At the Canadian Indoor Championships in New Brunswick, Madeline Seaby took bronze in the U18 women’s 3000 metre event. The Carleton Place resident crossed the line in a time of 10 minutes and 11.96 seconds and was followed by training partner Olivia Baggley in 10:31.16. Baggley placed sixth.

Seaby also took fifth in the 1500 metres in 4:50.21.

The Hurricane Collegiate Invitational in Miami was the site of Sharelle Samuel’s second straight victory over the 400 metre hurdles. The Harvard senior crossed the line in a collegiate best of 1:01.44 as she narrowly edged out Karlie Zumbro of Ball State for top spot.

Tommy Nedow took top spot in the discus at the Bulldog Relays hosted by Mississippi State University with a throw of 48.86 metres. It was his second victory in as many weeks in the event. Nedow also finished third in the shot put with a best throw of 15.50 metres.

22-NCAA-Gale

Gale Breaks 30 Year Old Canadian Indoor 400m Record

by linkinbioNationalUniversity

While it may not be fair to expect records every meet, that seems to be what Lauren Gale keeps wanting to give. For the fourth competition in a row Gale broke a record – this time at the NCAA Indoor Championships in Birmingham, Alabama. Gale’s time of 51.64 seconds in the 400 metre final eclipsed , this time taking out Jillian Richardson’s 30 year old Canadian indoor 400 metre mark.

Gale earned her spot in Saturday’s final with a second place finish in her heat Friday night. Coming off the cut in in an unfamiliar third place, the fourth year student maintained her composure and comfortably moved into second as they entered the final turn – closing in 52.17.

Entering her first NCAA final, Gale was calm in her approach. “I’m going to run my race how I usually do, split my normal times and hold on at the end,” remarked the Tokyo Olympian.

Running in the second of two final heats, Gale found herself in possibly the tightest women’s 400 metre battle in NCAA history. While she ultimately placed fourth in her heat, forced to the back of the pack after the cut-in, Gale would place eighth overall – just fifteen hundredths off the podium.

“She was a little frustrated that she couldn’t run her second lap like she wanted to, but she was in the back and had a lot of traffic,” said CSU sprints coach J.J. Riese of Gale’s performance. “That’s how it goes though sometimes, and it is nothing to be ashamed about. Overall, she had a good run and set a record for her home country which is nothing to take lightly.”

Closer to home the both varsity programs wrapped up an expedited regular season at the Redbirds Last Chance meet in Montréal. Combined, the varsity programs garnered 14 podium performances including seven victories.

Alexandra Telford led the haul with a pair of victories in both the 60 metre hurdles and 300 metre events. The Carleton University graduate student also picked up a pair of school records along the way. First was the hurdles, where she fended off strong runs by Club mate Vanessa Lu Langley (McGill) and former Gee-Gee Stephanie Lapolice (Laval) to win in a time of 9.10 seconds – five hundredths better than her previous record. Over 300 metres, Telford bested the field by nearly a second as she ran under 39 seconds for the first time. She is currently ranked first in both events heading into this coming weekend’s RSEQ Championship.

Another Carleton Record came from Alec Jeffrey who took second place in the shot put. The software engineering student heaved the 16 pound ball out to 14.55 metres, besting his previous record by nearly a metre and a half. Jeffrey is now ranked second heading into the Quebec conference championships this weekend, and 11th nationally.

The full list of other medal winners is included below:

GOLD

Sydney Smith – 600m (1:32.91)

Cox and Newlove produce top finishes at USports XC Championship

by linkinbioNationalUniversity

The university cross country season concluded Saturday at the 2021 USports Championships hosted by the Laval Rouge et Or in Quebec City. Running on the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City. The field of nearly 260 athletes included six Lions’ runners.

Will Cox was the top placing Lion, finishing 30th in the men’s race. The Atlantic University Sport bronze medalist completed the eight kilometre course in 25 minutes and 43.7 seconds. His performance helped his Dalhousie Tigers to a seventh place finish and he was named Dalhousie Male Athlete of the Week for his efforts.

Finishing five seconds back of Cox was Robbie Mitchell in 37th. The University of Calgary graduate student helped the Dinos to a ninth place finish.

Adrian Fournier of the University of Ottawa placed 61st overall in a time of 26 minutes and 27.1 seconds. His performance was the highest finish by Gee-Gee male since Alex Berhe’s 58th place finish at the 2016 championships on the same course. Cameron Bruce of Carleton placed 126th.

Second year University of British Columbia student, Katie Newlove produced the top finish on the women’s side, placing 43rd in a time 30 minutes and 49.2 seconds. Newlove and her Thunderbird teammates just missed the podium, finishing five points behind Guelph’s 119 points to place fourth.

Fellow second year runner, Skye Pellerin finished 110th in her first USports Championship. The University of Ottawa Gee-Gee runner crossed the line in 33 minutes and 13.0 seconds.

OTTAWA - July 14, 2021: Nicholas Pedersen competing at Ottawa Summer Twilight #11 at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility.

Pedersen sets new best at Canadian 10k Championships

by linkinbioNational

The 2021 season has been a shift into a new gear for Nicholas Pedersen. The 21-year speaks about a shift in his mentality – to running courageously. The shift continued to pay dividends Sunday morning in Toronto as he set a new lifetime best  at the Canadian 10K Championships. Pedersen crossed the line in a time of 31 minutes and 45.0 seconds to place 41st.

“I am incredibly pleased with the result,” said Pedersen of his first Canadian senior championship performance. “Given the fitness going into it, I knew that sub 32:00 was ambitious yet within range of possibility.”

Sunday’s performance was just the latest in a line of what seem to be continually improving performances for Pedersen. The early season saw him set back-to-back bests over 5,000 metres on the track – taking nearly 15 seconds of his previous best. He then followed that up with gold in the 3,000 metre steeplechase at the Ontario Open Championships. “The more I run courageously the more that I realize it is less about the courage and more so about the trust I put in my fitness and the training I have done which allows me to race the way I do,” Pedersen describes.

Sunday’s performance is seen by Pedersen as good litmus test for his ultimate goal this fall – the Canadian Cross Country Championships to be held in Ottawa. “I only plan on coming with that much more fitness and intensity come November 27 to put on a show for everyone who supports me and to represent [the Lions] through racing with every ounce of heart that I have.”
Pedersen was not the only Lion competing in Toronto this past weekend as wheelchair racer Josh Cassidy took to the line following his top-five performance at the Boston Marathon six days prior. Cassidy crossed the finish line in a time of 21 minutes and 50.0 seconds.

“I used to live near Lake Shore Boulevard near High Park and never raced any STWM weekend events, so this was really fun to do,” Cassidy told Athletics Canada following the race. “They just made this [wheelchair] event a couple of weeks ago, so it worked out with my schedule. It was a demonstration. Hopefully it is something to build on for the future with prize money and a bigger field. It’s funny, whenever I am driving roads, I am always eyeing them up for training. And on Lake Shore, you can never do that unless it’s shut. It was fun to get out there, a fun course.”

2021 Canadian Cross Country Championships Take Over the Capital

by linkinbioNational

As Ottawa weather turns cold and wet, the country’s best cross country racers will heat up the trails of our Nation’s Capital for the 2021 Canadian Cross Country Championships, to be held November 27.

“Winning a national championship is always a special experience for an athlete. Athletics Canada is proud to provide a safe environment for all the competitor to do what they do best – compete. The same goes for the coaches, officials and race volunteers that make these events happen. With this being the first time the Canadian Cross Country Championships have been held in Ottawa, it is all the more special to put on this first-class event, with our first-class partners, in one of Canada’s greatest cities,” said Athletics Canada CEO David Bedford.

This race for the gold marks Ottawa’s first time hosting the event, a feat the capital will repeat in 2022. Wesley Clover Parks in Nepean will be the site where the first national cross country champions since 2019 will be crowned. The 2020 event was cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Run Ottawa has decades of experience showcasing the best road racers Canada has to offer at Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend.  Working with Athletics Canada as the Local Organizing Committee for the Canadian Cross Country Championships is an honour and pulls us off the road and into whatever Wesley Clover Parks has to offer in late November!”, said Ian Fraser, Executive Director, Run Ottawa. “Run Ottawa is also privileged to partner with the Ottawa Lions to help us execute a stellar Championship for Canada’s best athletes.”

Wesley Clover Parks is a new setting for Cross Country in Ottawa. While races are annually contested at Mooney’s Bay Park and The Hornet’s Nest, race organizers have created a challenging course that will allow athletes to push the pace on the flats, grind out the competition in the rolling wooded trails and take on the elements mother nature has in store for them in late November. The course has a bit of everything and will also allow spectators to get around to many vantage points and cheer on the athletes.

“As soon as it was shared that Ottawa would be the site of the 2021 and 2022 Athletics Canada Cross Country Championships, we didn’t waste any time. While it was only four years ago Ottawa welcomed the best in Canadian Athletics at the Canadian Track and Field Championships, we are thrilled to welcome Canada’s best harriers to Wesley Clover Parks,” said Ottawa Lions Track and Field Club Director and Head Coach Richard Johnston.

Upwards of 1,000 competitors descend on the host city every year to compete in the Canadian Cross Country Championships in the U18, U20, Open and Masters age categories. Consistent with Athletics

Canada’s mandatory vaccination policy, all athletes, coaches, volunteers and spectators will need to provide proof of full vaccination to participate in the 2021 Canadian Cross Country Championships.

The deadline to register for the 2021 Canadian Cross Country Championships is Monday, November 15 at 7 p.m. ET.

Bishop-Nriagu wins in Sacramento; Borgella and Dunkerley highlight Twilight #10

by linkinbioNational

It was another race and another “W” in the win column for Melissa Bishop-Nriagu as she took home top honours at the Under Armour Sunset Tour event in Sacramento. In her final tune up competition before the Olympics, Bishop-Nriagu looked unfazed by the competition around her as she crossed the line in a seasonal best 1:58.36.

From the gun, the two-time Olympian took the lead in behind the pace setter and followed her around the track for an opening lap of 57.5 seconds.  As the pacer stepped off the Sacramento State University track, Bishop-Nriagu’s legs kept rolling down the backstretch as her lead remained unchallenged. Entering the final hundred metres, Sabrina Southerland of the Oregon Track Club persisted in her attack on Melissa’s lead, but her attempts proved futile as the pride of Eganville would win by a few meters.

Closer to home, Bianca Borgella ended last week’s Twilight Meet #10 with a bang as she set a Canadian Record for the second week in a row. In the final event of the evening, the 18-year old blasted her way to a new personal best in the 100 metres, crossing the line in 12.79 seconds. The performance bettered the previous T13 standard by nearly 1.2 seconds, set by Shaunelle Gregory in 2015.

Borgella now sits 12th in the world rankings for 2021. She’ll have a couple more opportunities at upcoming Twilight Meets to better the mark as she tries to qualify and represent Canada at the upcoming Paralympic Games.

Also looking to join Team Canada in Tokyo is five-time Paralympian Jason Dunkerley. The 43-year old distance runner recently returned to distance running for a shot at an impressive sixth Games and he took a step closer to realizing that achievement last Wednesday as he dropped his seasonal best in the 1500 metres to 4:19.14. The time puts Dunkerley 10th in the global rankings. He will likely need to move into the top eight (4:17) for a shot at competing in Tokyo.

Borgella Breaks Canadian Record in 400m debut

by linkinbioNational

In the first 400 metre race of her life, Bianca Borgella did something most Canadian teenagers can only dream of – she set a new national record. Last Wednesday night, during the first Twilight Meet of the summer season, the 18-year old sprinter raced her way into the Canadian record books when she crossed the line in a time of 1:07.63* to beat the previous T13 mark of 1:07.80 set by L. Wong a quarter century before Borgella was born.

Bianca was recently classified in the T13 category at an International Paralympic Committee (IPC) event in Phoenix, Arizona last month. Athletes in the category have the highest visual acuity among those with a vision impairment and/or a visual field of less than 40 degrees diameter. Suffering from Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), which resulted in astigmatism that impairs her ability to see objects at a distance, Bianca had begun the journey to be internationally classified more than 15 months ago, but was delayed because of travel restrictions due to COVID.

Borgella, who has primarily focused on the 100 and 200 metre distances was pleasantly surprised by the new record, saying, “A new record, that’s pretty cool,” after being informed of of the performance’s significance.

“Having never raced the 400 metres before, it was hard to know how she would approach the event,” said coach Zach Quevillon, who believes there is likely to be more records in this young runner’s future as she figures out racing tactics. “She blasted down the backstretch in 27 seconds through the first 200m. The second half of the race was painful; she will probably leave a little bit more in the tank next time.”

Jacques and Bishop-Nriagu win in Montréal

by linkinbioNational

The Lions wrapped up their two stop Montreal tour last night with La Classique d’Athlétisme de Montréal, a World Athletics Continental Tour Bronze event, with a pair of victories from Farah Jacques and Melissa Bishop-Nriagu.

Jacques, running under much better conditions than the rain storm that fell on the national final three days earlier, bested Mariam Abdul-Rashid in the tightest finish of the evening. The pair of runners were awarded equal times of 13.28 seconds, but it was Jacques who was able to out lean Abdul-Rashid, by just eight thousandths of a second, for gold.

Since returning from an early season competition tour in the United States, Jacques has seen a continual improvement in her results on the track including last night’s performance, which was the fourth fastest of her career. The 2016 Olympic finalist will be waiting this week to see if her efforts were strong enough to earn her another spot on Canada’s 4×100 metre relay team in Tokyo.

For Melissa Bishop-Nriagu, her spot in Tokyo is secure, and she has been using the recent series of domestic competitions to work on racing tactics in her run for an Olympic medal. The tactics were working well Tuesday night as she was victorious over an almost identical field to the OIympic Trials in a time of two minutes and 1.69 seconds.

Next up for the decorated runner will be the Monaco Diamond League event on July 9th followed by the London Diamond League four days later. The first round of the 800 metres in Tokyo goes in one month from today.

In the men’s 1500 metres, Robert Mitchell set a new lifetime best of 3:59.08 to finish eighth in the open section. This was Mitchell’s first time cracking four minutes in the 1500. The open women’s 400 metres was won by Alexandra Telford in 57.51 seconds. It was the second fastest time of Telford’s life in her first race since February 2020.

Rounding out the Lions contingent was Stephen Evans who placed sixth in the elite section of the men’s 800 metres with a time of one minute and 52.37 seconds.

Next up for the Lions is the kick off of the 34th annual Summer Twilight Series, which begin tonight at Terry Fox. For more information on upcoming twilight meets, please check out the schedule.
