Christopher Morales Williams, Sarah Mitton Extend Streaks At Canadian Championships By Doug Binder, DyeStat Editor Photos by Sean Burges/Mundo Sports Images Audrey Leduc ran a fast winning time of 10.94 seconds in the women's 100 meters final at the Canadian Track and Field Championships presented by Bell on Friday in Ottawa. That time would match her Canadian record in the event if not for the +2.7 wind reading that accompanied it. Sade McCreath finished second in 11.10. Leduc won the event for the third straight year and can add her third straight 200 meters title on Sunday. Andre De Grasse won the men's 100 meters title for the fifth time with 10.09 seconds, edging out Aaron Brown, who was second in 10.15. Christopher Morales Williams, the world indoor champion, won the men's 400 meters in a time of 45.58 for his fourth straight national title. Lauren Gale won the women's 400 meters in a time of 51.94 seconds. Dianna Proctor was second in 52.33. Sarah Mitton dominated the women's shot put and won her sixth consecutive national title with 19.48m (63-11). Dayley Reimer won the women's javelin with 46.82m (153-7), which she achieved on her first attempt. Highlights in the U20 competition, which serves to select the national team that will compete at the World Athletics U20 Championships in Eugene in August, included Wyatt Lee winning the men's 100 meters in 10.25 seconds. Tia Porteous won the women's U20 100 meters in 11.44 seconds. More news |
