Track North Junior Team 9th at Nationals,

Proudfoot close to making Team Canada

Guelph, ON

Seven Track North Athletic Club athletes competed this past weekend at the Athletics Canada National Cross-Country Running Championships in Guelph, Ontario.

This year marked the first time in club history that Track North fielded a full Junior Men's team at the national championships.  The team competed on a rolling 8km course on the University of Guelph campus.  Competing against over 200 of the top athletes aged 19 and under from across the country, the team of Ross Proudfoot, 17 (Lively, ON), Chantry Cargill, 19 (Sudbury, ON), Jeremy Cooper, 16 (Manitowaning, ON), Joe Burke, 17 (Espanola) and Sebastian Diebel, 16 (Nairn, ON) placed 9th overall with a combined team score of 257 points.  The Windsor Legion Track and Field Club won the team gold medal with a low score of 49 points.

Leading the Track North squad was Proudfoot, who continued his excellent season with a 14th place showing and an impressive time of 25:00 on the 8km course.  Proudfoot, a grade 12 student at Lo-Ellen Park Secondary School, was just 9 seconds back of the final qualifying spot for the Canadian Junior Team that will compete next March at the World Championships in Poland.

Following Proudfoot was Cargill, in 28th place in a time of 25:48.  This result also capped an excellent season for Cargill, a first year engineering student at the University of Ottawa, who also placed 7th amongst rookies at the Ontario University Cross-Country Championships this past October.

Rounding out the Junior Men's team were Cooper in 57th (26:31), Burke in 158th (28:19) and Diebel in 196th (30:15).

Other Track North athletes competing included Sudbury Ironman triathlete Mike Couglin, who ran to a very impressive 29th place in the Masters (age 30+) Championship 8km race with a time of 28:45.  Steven Eles placed 66th in the Senior Men's 10km event with a time of 33:15.

Proudfoot commented following the race: That is the hardest I've run all season and I'm very happy with my result.  I was a lot closer to a few runners that beat me at OFSAA and I'm gaining confidence by keeping the gap between me and lead group as small as possible.  I will definitely be looking to make the world championship team next year.

Track North coach Darren Jermyn commented: I am very proud of the entire team.  We knew if everyone had a solid race that we could be amongst the top 10 teams in the country and the boys definitely got the job done today.  We beat teams from much larger clubs from Toronto, London, Niagara Falls and Kitchener.  Ross and Chantry definitely led our team with their experience running at national championship competitions.  We have a very young squad that includes two 16-year olds and two 17-year olds so the future is definitely bright for Track North.

Tallman, Villanova - NCAA Cross Country Champions

Track North's Tallman and Villanova Wildcats Crowned NCAA Champions

Terre Haute, Indiana, Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Sudbury Track North Athletics Club's Kaitlyn Tallman, a senior at Villanova University, captured the team gold medal today at the NCAA Division I Women's Cross-Country Running Championships in Terre Haute, Indiana.

Tallman, from Mindemoya, along with her teammates scored 86 points (low score wins), beating 2nd place Florida State by a 47 point margin. The University of Washington, who were ranked 1st all year, finished 3rd, 100 points behind Villanova.

Tallman commented shortly after her race, "It's an unbelievable feeling.  It's still sinking in.  We are all so excited and we can't stop crying because we worked so hard all year to put ourselves in a position to win and we did it.  Personally, I didn't have my best race but at the end of the day its a team sport and I'm so proud of the girls on this team."

Tallman finished 84th in a field of 255 of the highest caliber runners in the NCAA.

Tallman's Track North coach, Darren Jermyn, commented: "What an amazing day for Kaitlyn and the entire Track North community.  We cannot be any happier for her and her teammates at this moment.  She has gone through so much over the past several years, from being an OFSAA gold medallist to really struggling to stay injury free and running to her full potential. The coaching staff at Villanova have done an outstanding job developing Kaitlyn into a national level runner and we are excited to see what she does next.  Seeing her holding the championship trophy on national television after the race will be with me for years to come."

If you can help, please let me know as soon as you can!

Rebecca and Snax

TRACK NORTH NEWS

Rebecca Johnston has been having a great tournament at the Canada Cup, bagging a hat trick against Finland (who beat the USA) for five goals in her first two games. You can see a Canada Press and Sudbury Star article about her at:
http://www.hockeycanada.ca/index.php/ci_id/66213/ss_id/58100/la_id/1.htm
She plays again tomorrow and then in the final against the USA on Sunday.

Eric Roque (Snax) is just finishing his football training camp at the U. of Waterloo. Here's what their season's preview has to say about him:

"Eric Roque, KR (5-4 155, Sudbury, Ont. - Collège Notre-Dame)
Eric is a dynamic player with blazing speed. He is a former Canadian National Junior sprint finalist. He will be exciting to watch and reminds the coaching staff of our very own pinball."
("Pinball" refers to Pinball Clemens one of the all-time great CFL players.
http://www.athletics.uwaterloo.ca/varsity/sports/2009_2010/football/index.htm

For those of you who know who Pinball Clemens is, you might appreciate the fact that the Waterloo Offensive Coordinator is Joe Paopao - one of the all-time great CFL quarterbacks and former CFL coach.

Snax also plans to run indoor track at Waterloo.

Devon & Chandra's 10k

Just after leaving Sudbury, Devon Kershaw and Chandra Crawford raced at the Muskoka Rocks 10k.

Devon placed first in his age category and 2nd overall, with a time of 33:05.

Ont Bantam, Midget Youth Champs Results

Track North's Proudfoot Wins Double Gold at Provincial Track and Field Championships

Timmins, ON

 

Track North Athletic Club's Ross Proudfoot (Lively), 17, won gold in both the 800m and 1500m events at the Athletics Ontario Bantam, Midget and Youth Championships held this past weekend in Timmins.

 

Competing against the top 17 and under athletes in the province, Proudfoot, first struck gold in the 800m event with a finishing time of 1 minute 58.03 seconds.  This race saw Proudfoot outkick a large field of athletes over the final 200m as eight runners broke the two minute barrier in this closely contested race.

 

Proudfoot also captured gold in the 1500m event.  Leading wire to wire, Proudfoot charged home to a new personal best of 3 minutes 58.16 seconds.

 

Proudfoot also anchored Track North's silver medal winning  4 X 800m relay team which also included Sebastian Diebel (Nairn), Joe Burke (Espanola) and Jeremy Cooper (Manitowaning).  In a deep ten team field, the Track North squad placed just a half a second behind the winning team from Mississauga.

 

Proudfoot commented: "It was a great weekend of racing. The 800m and 4 X 800m relay were really exciting with deep, crowded fields. I was surprised how good I felt in the 1500m race, particularly leading start to finish they way I did.  I'm excited to race it again in two weeks in Sherbrooke at the National Youth Championships"

 

Coach Darren Jermyn notes: "Ross has been working really hard this whole summer and its great to see it pay off for him this weekend.  He was sick at OFSAA and couldn't compete at the level he normally does but his performances last weekend at the National Junior Championships in PEI (12th in the 1500m) and this weekend show that he is one of the top 17 year-old distance runners in the country".

National Seniors/Olympic Trials Results

Here's the media release on the Olympic Trials/National Senior Championships

Ehrhardt Surprises with Olympic Trials Bronze!

Track North Athletic Club's Caroline Ehrhardt was a surprise bronze medalist at the weekend's National Senior Track & Field Championships and Olympic Trials, in Windsor. this weekend.

Ehrhardt, a 16-year old grade 11 student at Espanola Secondary School, put herself into medal contention on her first jump with a huge personal best of 12.41 metres. It was a performance that held up through five more rounds of jumping. While the leap did not meet the Olympic standard, it exceeded the performance standards for the World Youth (Under 18) Championships in 2009. The event was won by 26-year old Tabia Charles who jumped 13.92.

"After her preliminary rounds on Friday, I knew she had more in her" said coach, Jim Taylor. "She definitely came through when it counted!"

Andrew Ellerton, who continues to represent Track North while running professionally for Reebok, won a bronze medal in the 800m with a time of 1:47.44. While Ellerton's time did not qualify him for the Olympic team, his Spring campaign brought him incredibly close to selection, with a race in Indianapolis only .07 away from the Olympic standard and another in Victoria only .12 away from the magic 1:46.0 mark. Two races at 1:46.0, in addition to his third place finish this weekend, would have placed him on the Olympic squad.

Ellerton's summer is not over. He will now head overseas and spend several weeks racing on the highly competitive European circuit.

"Andrew's race wasn't ideal for setting a personal best," said Track North coach, Dick Moss. Gary Reed and Ashraf Tadili had already having set the Olympic standard and had only to run for place, not time. So Andrew was forced to lead the race for the first 400m. You can run fast times as a front-runner, but it makes the task more difficult. Fortunately, Andrew has a tremendous coach in Ron Warhurst and some European races in his sights, so I think his times will drop significantly this summer."

Also competing at the trials were Ben Charbonneau who placed 14th in the javelin with a toss of 54.13, and Madeleine Woods who placed 26th in the 800m with a time of 2:15.08.

Ellerton in Victoria

Ellerton crossed the finish line behind Canada's World Championship Silver medalist, Gary Reed, but ahead of Kenyan Jackson Leangat, Korean Lee Jae Hoon, and Canadian Olympian, Kevin Sullivan.

To be considered for the Olympic team, Ellerton must twice run the "A" standard of 1:46.0 and place top-4 at the Canadian Olympic Trials.

Ellerton's next race is at the Harry Jerome Classic in Abbotsford, BC on Saturday, then the Olympic Trials in Windsor on July 5th and 6th.
