Here is a recap as to what has been taking place in the Hapnot Collegiate track and field program. The first track and field tournament of the year was Zones held in The Pas. Hapnot had 43 athletes attend the Zone Championship. Our winners were as follows: First Place: Kirsten Clark - 1500 m and 3000 m Dan Dowell - Triple Jump and Long Jump Michelle Pettersen - 100 m Dash and Long Jump Rob Moore - 100 m Dash Eileen Pawliuk - 1500 m and 3000 m Jeanelle Leclair - Triple Jump Ashley Krassilowsky - 100 m Dash Stephanie Trueman - High Jump JV Boys 4 x 100 m Relay SV Boys 4 x 100 m Relay 'A' JV Boys 4 x 400 m Relay JV Girls Distance Medley SV Girls 4 x 400 m Relay Second Place: Larissa Row - Shot Put Ashley Krassilowsky - 200 m Dash Shilo Baribeau - High Jump Tara Abbott - 1500 m Dan Dowell - 100 m Hurdles Jake Rogers - Triple Jump Michelle Pettersen - 200 m Dash Ian Clark - 400 m Dash Nicole Pawliuk - 3000 m Chadd Ticzon - Long Jump Jamie Lytwyn - Triple Jump SV Girls 4 x 100 m Relay JV Girls 4 x 400 m Relay JV Girls 4 x 100 m Relay Third Place: SV Boys 4 x 100 m Relay 'B' Lyle Leclair - Discus SV Girls Distance Medley Lauren Krassilowsky - 80 m Hurdles Peter Weber - 100 m Hurdles Doug Hills - 200 m Dash Jeanelle Leclair - 100 m Dash Alison Hall - 400 m Dash Mari Peterson - Shot Put All of the above athletes qualified for Rural Provincials which were held in Selkirk. In total 27 students made the trip for the Rural Track and Field championships. This tournament gave the athletes the opportunity to see a high level of competition and they all responded well to the atmosphere. Many personal bests were set on the track and in the field events. Our medal winners were as follows: First Place: Jeanelle Leclair - Triple Jump Eileen Pawliuk - 3000 m JV Boys - 4 x 100 m Relay - Wesley Gawiak, Jedd Reeves, Jamie Lytwyn, and Chadd Ticzon Second Place: Eileen Pawliuk - 1500 m SV Girls 4 x 400 m Relay - Alison Hall, Stephanie Trueman, Eileen Pawliuk, and Jeanelle Leclair The above athletes then qualified for City Provincials in Winnipeg the next weekend. Another achievement of our team was that Eileen Pawliuk won the MHSAA athlete of the week award for her performance in Selkirk. At City Provincials the athletes managed to again set some personal bests such as Eileen Pawliuk's previous time of 12:06:74 in the 3000 m becoming 11:51.17. Jeanelle Leclair also set a new personal best of 10.29 m in the triple jump, which put her into third place for a bronze medal. The JV boys managed to shave off some time to finish at 48.83 seconds, which was an improvement from the performance that saw them win the gold medal at Rural Provincials, but it was just shy of seeing them into the finals. All in all the coaches were all very impressed with the effort put forth by every team member throughout the entire season. Things are looking very bright in Hapnot's track and field future.
