Make it an even dozen members of the Laurentian Voyageurs indoor track & field team thay have qualified for the OUA championships next month - so far - after the team competed this past weekend at the 42nd Annual Windsor Can-Am Classic.

Six new standards were registered by the blue and gold, with fifth year veteran Keon Wallingford leading the way. The North Bay native set a new personal best in the 3,000 metres with a time of 8:34.24 seconds, finishing fourth with that clocking.

His time also bumped the graduate of Widdifdield Secondary School all the way to the #4 position in terms of all-time Laurentian men's times in the 3,000 metres distance.

The 1,000 was also very kind to Laurentian representatives as both Kristen Mrozewski (3:03.75 - 4th yr - Nursing) and Sarah Booth (3:03.86 - 5th yr - Education) managed to hit the time necessary to compete at the all-Ontario showdown in Windsor on February 21st and 22nd.

Third year criminology student Shelley Hladin surpassed the OUA standard in the women's long jump for a second time this season with a best jump of 5.23 metres, placing her 15th.

Rounding out the qualifiers were third year nursing student Brandon Radey (1,000m - 2:36.04 - Lasalle Secondary) and Lockerby Composite product and L.U. freshman Alissa Diavolitsis (300m - 42.99).

"Despite it being our first meet after the holidays, we had some very solid performances this weekend," noted head coach Darren Jermyn. "We held a training camp on campus over the break and it provided us with additional time to prepare for the season."

"We are also developing our depth across the three relay events, so it was great to see some success in our long sprints and middle distance events," Jermyn continued.

The Voyageurs will travel to Montreal in two weeks to compete at the McGill Team Challenge.
