Athletes clear another hurdle at qualifier
Top five advance to represent Zone 3 at SOSSA championships
Trinity Tutti is one Eastdale Eagle who keeps soaring into the high school track and field record books.
The Grade 12 student from Cooks Mills, already the Zone 3 record-holder for the midget and junior girls shot put and midget and junior girls discus, added two more records to her impressive resume at the Zone 3 championships Monday in St. Catharines.
Tutti, the City of Welland female athlete of the year for 2017, set a new standard in senior girls shot put, with a throw of 13.76 metres, and broke the record for senior girls discus, 52.25 metres.
In all, 10 records fell in the qualifier for the Southern Ontario Secondary Schools Association (SOSSA) championships next week, also at Niagara Olympic Park.
Notre Dame’s Alissa Mete’s 11:19.86 was the fastest-ever in the junior girls 3,000 at Zone 3, with A.N. Myer’s Michael Ivanov setting the record for midget men’s triple jump, 12.14 metres.
Record for junior girls triple jump is now 10.94 metres following a star turn from E.L. Crossley’s Audrey Morrison on Monday.
Other records for throwing were set by Notre Dame students Callan Saldutto, junior boys javelin, 53.27 metres; and Atray Johnson, boys shot put intellectual, 8.09 metres.
Notre Dame also had two boys set standards in running events: Santiago Gaitan-Caballero, senior boys 3,000, 9:10.48; Erik Kuchemann, boys 100 intellectual, 14.19.
Setting the Zone 3 record in the open girls 4x400 relay, in a time of 4:19.68; were Crossley’s Sofia Labricciosa, Cate Gualtieri, Jessie Fennell and Lauren Knafelc.
Total entries were down, this time to about 350 from more than 400 last year.
Rina Rode, co-ordinator of athletics for the Niagara Region High School Athletic Association, attributed the decrease to a number of factors, including declining enrolment, more students working part-time after school, as well as commitments to club programs and bus students having trouble finding transportation after practices and games.
“It’s a sign of the times, it’s happening across the board in all sports,” she said.
