She saved her best for the final, exploding from the blocks and moving into third place at the 60m mark. She then surged over the final 10 metres to narrowly out-lean Edmonton's Isatu Fofanah by 1/100th of a second. Her silver medal time was 11.95, which matched her personal best, set at Sudbury's OFSAA Track and Field Championships.</DIV> <DIV>See Race Videos:</DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000>Ashley - Finals</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000>http://tinyurl.com/5t5n3x8</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000>Ashley - Semi-Finals</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000>http://tinyurl.com/6xcvlzh</FONT><BR></DIV> <DIV><B>Katie Wismer's</B> bronze medal in the 2000 metre steeplechase was another surprise, with Wismer running an 18-second personal best to place ahead of both the gold and bronze medalists from OFSAA. Using a risky but effective technique over the waterpits, Wismer ran in fifth place until the final lap, where she moved through the pack to her medal finish and a time of 7:12.87.
