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.

1st – new school record - 5th 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 2nd 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.
3rd – 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 1st in the country! For the last couple of weeks the Men’s team has been in 1st 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!

Yours in track and field,
A.
