2012 OUA Track & Field Championship
TORONTO - The University of Windsor Lancers
men’s and women’s track and field teams repeated as
champions on Saturday (Feb. 25), each finishing atop the team
standings at the 2012 OUA Track and Field Championships at the
Toronto Track and Field Centre.
The Lancers men’s team finished with 153 points, 19.5 points
ahead of the second-place Western Mustangs, for their 14th straight
OUA title, while the women won by 13 points, also over Western, for
their third consecutive banner.
The host York Lions finished third in the men’s event and
sixth in the women’s standings.

website here.
Two more meet records fell on the second day of competition. In the
men’s shot put event, Guelph’s Tim Hendry won the gold
medal with a throw of 17.68 metres, well past the previous record
of 16.93 metres set two years ago. Finishing just behind Hendry was
the Lions’ Umar Khan with a throw of 17.34 metres, a new
personal best, while Hendry’s teammate Brent Roubos won
bronze with a toss of 16.74 metres.
The second new record came in the women’s 4 x 400m relay, as
the University of Toronto Varsity Blues shaved more than five
seconds off the old mark set last year by Windsor to claim the gold
medal. The Lancers won the silver medal after crossing the finish
line more than six seconds back, and the Ottawa Gee-Gees grabbed
bronze.
Toronto’s Rachel Jewett, who ran the second leg of the
record-setting relay and also won the pentathlon on Friday (Feb.
24), won her third medal of the meet in the women’s high
jump, finishing in a tie for third place with Guelph’s Julia
Wallace. Jewett’s teammate, Shaneista Haye, won the gold with
a jump of 1.71 metres, and Kelly Morrison from the Lancers grabbed
silver.
Another athlete who returned home with several medals was
Windsor’s Nicole Sassine, who won four at the meet. In
addition to the silver earned in the 4 x 400m relay and a gold on
Day 1 in the 300m, she won a silver in the 60m and gold in the 4 x
200m relay. The other two medallists in the 60m were winner Sarah
Pierce and third-place finisher Jeannette Goode, both from the
Gryphons, while Western and Guelph rounded out the medals in the
relay.
The Lions won three gold medals on the day. Kristin Obrochta and
Elizabeth Petrov went one-two in the women’s weight throw to
start the second day of competition, finishing ahead of the
Lancers’ Ami Schimanski; rookie David McKay won the
men’s pole vault event with a personal-best jump of 5.00
metres and Vinh Le finished first in the men’s triple
jump.
The Lions also put two men on the podium in the 60m race as Dontae
Richards-Kwok and Tyrone Halstead won silver and bronze,
respectively, with CIS qualifying times. Richards-Kwok finished the
meet with three medals, also running the opening leg of the
bronze-medal winning 4 x 400m relay team.
The winner of the 60m race was Windsor’s Aaron Dawson in a
blistering time of 6.70 seconds.
The top athletes will meet again in two weeks for the CIS
championships, which are being hosted by the University of Manitoba
in Winnipeg, March 8-12.
