It might have been a less than ideal day weather-wise at the Moose Jaw Invitational high school track and field meet Saturday, but that didn’t keep a handful of athletes from making their mark in the record books.
Leading the way was Cornerstone Christian School’s Aliyah Block, who set a pair of marks in the midget girls division while posting a pair of commanding wins in her event. First up was the shot put, where Block recorded a 10.95 metre effort, a full two metres better than second place finisher Ember Dusomme from Central. Block was just as dominant in the discus, with a throw of 30.21 metres nearly six metres ahead of Weyburn’s Soraya Blunt.
Block wasn’t alone as a midget girls record-setter, as Central’s Akoul Riak put down a time of 1:01.71 to set a new Invitational mark in the 400 metres.
Swift Current’s Scott Joseph capped an impressive day in the senior boys division with a new record of 13.45 metres in the triple jump. He also posted victories in the 100 metres (11.12), 200 metres (22.51) and long jump (6.24 metres).
Fellow Colts standout Kalea Sauder had a similar day in the senior girls division with wins in the 100m (12.74), 80m hurdles (12.00), high jump (1.50m) and long jump (4.89m).
Shaunovon’s Solomon Etinrin put together a sweep of the throwing events in the midget boys division, winning the shot put (14.68m), discus (37.70) and javelin (37.70), while in the same division Swift Current’s Ryan McCleary was his team’s third four-event winner, with victories in the 400m (59.43), 800m (2:21.55), high jump (1.69m) and triple jump (11.56m).
Not surprisingly given those results, Swift Current ended up winning the team title with 63 medals, including 24 gold and 22 silver, while Peacock was second with 43 medals (15-11-17), Vanier third at 39 medals (12-14-13), Central fourth with 25 (7-11-7), Cornerstone Christian School seventh with six (4-0-2) and Briercrest Christian Academy ninth with seven medals (3-4-0).
