Month: March 2023

We’ve accomplished a great deal, so far in 2023!  There is a great deal of enthusiasm and confidence as we look ahead to the outdoor season.  Between the two Athletics Ontario Indoor Championships (U18/Open and U16/U20), CTAC athletes produced thirty-three new personal best performances, ten Top 10’s and one bronze medal.  Additionally, five athletes qualified to race US Indoor Nationals in New York (Nike Indoor Nationals) and Boston (New Balance Nationals).  Although only three were able to make the trip, the results were reflective of our overall indoor performances.  Morgan finished 16^th in the Emerging Elite Mile in New York and Kieva finished 15^th in the Freshman Mile in Boston.  So, although we may not have produced more medals, our collective effort signals greater things to come, and the outdoor season promises to be even more eventful!

For example, we are looking forward, to the Florida Training Camp, OFSAA Championships, summer twilight meets, AO Championships and Nationals (Langley B.C.).  Congratulations to all!!

The Athletics Ontario U16/U20 Indoor Championships mark the end of the indoor racing season for the vast majority. Base on the results, there is a great deal of enthusiasm and confidence entering the March Break transition period and the upcoming outdoor season.

This past weekend CTAC athletes turned in seven Top 10 performances including a bronze medal for Maeve in the women’s U20 3000m. Other top 10 performances include two from Rebecca Pribaz (U16 1200m & 800m), Madeline Hill (U16 300m), Kyrie Savvaidis (U16 2000m), Kieva Birmingham (U16 800m) and Morgan Yeomans (U20 800m).

And if that isn’t impressive enough, the entire crew from the Development and High School Groups, turned in 18 new personal best performances. That truly is something special! Congratulations all!!
