Orléans-area athletes had a successful National Capital secondary school track and field meet last week with several athletes winning multiple titles starting with Maxime Cazabon from École secondaire catholique Garneau who swept the senior boys high jump, long jump and triple jump events.
Samuel Pamale from St. Peter High School won both the junior boys 100 and 200 metres and placed fourth in the long jump.
Teammates Cassidy Sookocheff and Jorai Ma Oppong-Nketiah from École secondaire publique Louis-Riel were also multiple event winners sweeping both the 100 and 200 metre sprints in the junior and senior girls levels respectively.
One of the revelations of the day was St. Matthew High School’s Frida Isaac-Ighodaro. The tall Grade 9 student swept the novice girls sprints in impressive fashion, winning the 100 metres by two or three strides and the 200 metres by nearly a full second.
But the most impressive performance of the meet was turned in by Louis-Riel’s Mallea McMullin who set a meet record in the javelin competing in her first year as a senior. She won the event with a throw of 42,23 metres, which was 10 metres farther from her nearest rival and nearly half a metre farther than the previous record which was set in 2018.
McMullin went into the city champion-ships with a little extra motivation having just missed breaking one of the oldest high school records on the books in the East Conference meet the week previous.
The holder of both the East Conference and city championship records at the junior level, McMullin fell just 20 centimetres short of breaking the senior girls record at the East Conference meet which was set in 1981 by De La Salle’s Lucie Archambault.
“I knew I was near the record, but I didn’t know how old it was,” said McMullin who won the event with a throw of 42 metres.
Besides winning the senior girls javelin at the city championships this year, McMullin also won the senior girls discus.
She will be among 21 fellow athletes from Louis-Riel who will be competing at the OFSAA East Regional meet in Brockville this week for a chance to qualify for the provincial championships taking place in St. Catherine’s from June 4-6.
Other local athletes who will be competing at the East Regionals as city champions include Audrey Lovric from Gloucester High School in the novice girls shot put, Matilda Edwards from Colonel By in the junior girls triple jump, Keshia Chivaza from Louis-Riel in the junior girls high jump, Laurina Nganzeu from Gloucester in the junior girls javelin, Finley Labrach from Colonel By in the junior boys javelin, and Tasei Tan from Béatrice-Desloges in the senior boys 400-metre hurdles.
