THE OUA's day 1

Hey Lancers,

The team is here at York and we are ready to rumble. The meet doesnt start until 2pm but the excitement has been on full all week. With both the men's and women's teams having team building events all week long everyone is ready to give it there all. Some athletes already have the CIS auto standard in their events so this weekend is more about winning a championship banner for the school.

This morning the most of the team enjoyed the $1 breakfast at Ikea and headed back to the hotel for the team meeting and pump up video. Even though we have all seen the pictures from meets it always gets the heart pumping when you see the team together,pictures all lined up to a great beat and seeing yourself on the screen. Now I when I saw my picture pop up the first thing I did was look at my form, then the flow then my form. I am not good looking hurdler. But I do my best to get over the hurdles.

I will try and post some pictures as the meet goes on but my job this weekend is to run, cheer and cheer louder!

Stay tuned and as always. Yours in track and field,

A.

HOLY COW HOLY WOW

Hey Lancers,

Sorry for not blogging as much in the last week. Been super busy with training and that other thing student athletes have to do...learn. But I have big news and I will try and get through it all.

1^st – new school record - 5^th year shot putter Andy Ysebaert set a new school record with a throw of 17.23 meters. Andy had this big throw at the Mayo Invitational at the University of Norte Dame. With this throw Andy is now ranked 2^nd in the country. The other school record was set by senior distance runner Anthony Berkis with a new time 4:02. In the world of milers the 4 minute barrier is recognized as a level of achievement.

2st – CIS auto times for relays - The means 4x200m, Women’s 4x200m and 4x400m all achieved a CIS auto standard performance. With these times they punched their tickets to the CIS championships in March.

3^rd – More CIS auto performances - From Notre Dame -7 CIS Qualifying Performances - From York -4 CIS Qualifying Performances

I did not have a good weekend in York but that was yesterday and this weekend is looking promising. I will report back later on how the meet goes for the team.

Keep following Lancers for updated info on team performances.

PS. NEWS UPDATE

The Men’s and Women’s team are now ranked 1^st in the country! For the last couple of weeks the Men’s team has been in 1^st by only a handful of point and the women’s team floating around the 3-5 position. After this weekend three-way split squads performances both teams have secured their dominance in the CIS as the top teams.

GO LANCERS GO!
