Cross Country at Canatara

On Wednesday, Canatara Park hosted the SWOSSAA Championships where High School students ripped off some seriously fast kms, Athletes who finished in the top 15 individually and top 2 teams in their district qualified to race at Canatara, which is the last round of qualification before the OFSAA Ontario Provincial  Championships held in Ottawa.

Jazmin Martin running out of Belle River took the womens 5k event with a time of 18:40 that would put most men to shame, myself included. Vincent Massey's top finisher Ashley Baracci and St.Chris's Nicki Parkes completed the senior women's podium.

1  Martin, Jazmin       Belle River D.H.S        3:44.2/km          18:40.74 
2  Bracci, Ashley       Vincent Massey           3:53.4/km         19:27.01 
3  Parkes, Nicki         St. Chris                     3:56.2/km         19:40.83

In the senior mens 7km race, Ryan Sleiman from Kingsville seemed to take the race into his own hands straight from the gun leaving Riverside S.S runner Corey Bellemore and Dan Piticariu of Vincent Massey in hot pursuit. Sleiman never appeared in danger of succumbing to the pressure from Bellemore and Piticariu and stormed away in control for the win despite a late charge from Bellemore near the finish, crossing the line only 6 seconds back.
 

1  Sleiman, Ryan          Kingsville               3:08.6/km        21:59.66 
2  Bellemore, Corey     Riverside S.S          3:09.5/km        22:05.90  
3  Piticariu, Dan           Vincent Massey      3:12.0/km        22:23.40
