The
east end's other individual silver medal was won by Louis-Riel
pole vaulter Caroline Poirier who cleared a personal best
height of 3.60 metres to finish in second place. Teammate
Annabelle Gagn� captured the bronze medal with a leap
of 3.50 metres. The event was won by Alex Throndson from
Silverthorn Collegiate in Toronto.
Gagn�
was also a member of Louis-Riel's silver medal relay team
along with Kayla Vieux, Kadiatou Wann and Megan Roy. The
quartet lowered their East Region winning time by a full
two seconds, completing the event in 48.25 seconds, just
five one-hundredths of a second behind the winners from
Picker-ing High School in Ajax.
Elsewhere,
Louis-Riel sprinter Eliezer Adjibi won two bronze medals
in the senior boys 100- and 200-metre sprints. The National
Capital and East Region champion ran a personal best 10.93
in the 100 and 22.94 in the 200, breaking both the 11-second
and 23-second barriers over the respective distances.
The
five medals along with several top five performances �
two by Vieux in the 100 metres, where she placed fourth,
and the 200 metres where she finished fifth � and one
by Japhet Divita in the senior boys triple jump � helped
Louis-Riel achieve a third place finish in the overall
aggregate standings at the meet. It is the highest the
east end high school has ever placed at the provincial
track and field championships.
The
east end's only other OFSAA medalist was Gloucester High
School's Sophie Barber who won a bronze medal in the senior
girls javelin. The Grade 12 student made a successful
throw of 39.62 metres on her sixth and final attempt to
secure third place in the event.
Anesi
Aniya from St. Peter High School had three top 10 finishes
in Toronto. She placed fourth in the senior girls 200-metres,
seventh in the 110-metre hurdles and 10th in the 100 metres.
Fellow
St. Peter Knight, Katie New-love, had two top ten finishes.
She placed fourth in the junior girls 3,000 metres and
seventh in the 1500. Gloucester High School's Corrine
Abouem rounded out the east end's top list with a fifth
place result in the midget girls shot put.
