Ramsey Tour - Info & Officials Needed

Hey Everybody,

The 33rd annual Ramsey Tour 5k/Half Marathon will be held next weekend - Sunday September 13th at 10:00 (note the time change..10:00 AM, not 10:30 AM).

Proceeds from the this race will assist the Laurentian Women's XC/Track team by providing them with bursaries and scholarships. As you know, many of these athletes also compete for Track North.

If you're not racing, we can use your help as officials - in particular, finish line officials and race marshalls. The time commitment would be from about 9:00 AM to about 12:30. As always, you'll receive a free lunch afterwards.

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.

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".

Jeremy in Afghanistan

A shout-out to TNOR and Laurentian alumni sprinter, Jeremy Lajeunesse, who's currently posted with the armed forces out of the Kandahar air field in Afganistan.

Jeremy's job is planning how to support all the forward elements in the province, including planning for fuel, ammo, rations, convoy schedules, air replenishment etc. A LOT of responsibility.

Jeremy is still running to stay fit - usually at 5:00 AM.

Get back home safe, Jeremy!!

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.

Rebecca and Devon in Europe

Two TNOR alumni are now competing in Europe - in two different sports.

Devon Kershaw
Devon Kershaw is about to begin his European season in nordic skiing. Devon has a new website that will keep you informed about his progress:
http://devonkershaw.com

Rebecca Johnston
Rebecca Johnston is now in Sweden playing for the senior national team in the Four Nations Cup. At 18, Rebecca is the youngest member of the team. They play their first game tonight, against Finland.

Rebecca is taking time away from her Cornell team to play for the national team. By the way, some of you will remember that Rebecca had to withdraw from OFSAA track last spring because of back pain. The discomfort lasted all summer, and in September, she found out what the problem was - a small vertebrae fracture in her back!!

At any rate, she appears to have recovered and is now in Sweden!!
You can see an article on Rebecca in yesterday's Sudbury Star.

A fast start by Stephanie Flieler set the stage for the Lady Vees, almost all of whom ran personal bests over a 5k course. Laing placed 28th in team scoring, breaking the 20:00 barier with a time of 19:59. She was followed by Maggie Robins, 40th with a personal best time of 20:13, Hilary Kilbreath, 48th in 20:237 (PB), Stephanie Flieler, 52nd in 20:31, and Celeste Woods, 90th in 21:41 (PB)2q. Amanda Seed in 22:38 and Becky Van Zeyl in 23:31 finished as displacers. The race involved 163 runners from U.S. and Ontario universities.

The average time for Laurentian's five scoring runners was 20:34.

"I ran a conservative race," said Laing, of her relatively slow start," But I realize I'll have to start faster for the OUA's.

"The race was won by Laurentian graduate,Leila Angrand, in a time of 17:48. Angrand is now studying for her Masters of Occupational Therapy at the University of Western Ontario.

"We held Meghan Juuti and Kirsti Dolson out of the race," said head coach, Dick Moss, of his top-two runners. "We want to make sure they're healthy for the OUA's in two weeks. But this gave some of the other girls, like Kelly and Maggie, a chance to shine."
