Jared, Taylor and Austin ready to start Day 1 of the Dec in the 100m
The first national championship of the year got under way this weekend in Toronto at Varsity Stadium in downtown Toronto for our U20 and Open athletes.. It's certainly early for a national championship, particularly for heptathletes and decathletes, but our crew was ready to go. The meet was also the provincial championships for U18 combined events athletes. London Western walked away as the top club of the championship with 16 points. Special shout out to Chris Caruso on setting a new club record in the U18 Decathlon of 6032 pts. Here's how results played out...
