Multi event stars, Theisen-Eaton and Warner, sweep sprint hurdle podium

Edmonton, Alta.- Canada’s mutli-event stars, Damian Warner of London, Ont., and Brianne Theisen-Eaton of Humboltd, Sask., shined brightly on day three of the Canadian Track and Field Championships. The Commonwealth Games champions each scored victories in their respective sprint hurdle races. Warner’s winning time in the 110m hurdles tied Mark McKoy’s 30 year-old Championship record of 13.27, while Theisen-Eaton ran 13.06 to claim victory over the women’s field in the 100m hurdles. The hurdle finals, like the 100m finals on day two, were run on the backstretch to avoid running into a headwind. The legal 1.9 m/s wind helped push runner up, Jonathan Cabral and third-place finisher Sekou Kaba of Ottawa, Ont., (13.43) to the IAAF World Standard.

The first event of the day was the 10,000m race walk where Rachel Seaman of Peterborough, Ont., set a new Canadian record for the women with a winning time of 44:16.98. Jessy Lacourse Victoriaville, Que., set a Championship record of 10:42.97 in the junior women’s 3000m steeplechase. Derek Drouin of Corunna, Ont., set a Championship record in the men's high jump with a win of 2.34m. 

Hometown favourite Carline Muir of Edmonton, Alta., went sub 52 seconds again, running 51.84, to take the victory in the women’s 400-metre final. Two days after winning the women’s 5000m, Nicole Sifuentes of Winnipeg, Man., completed the double by crossing the line first in the 1500-metres (4:20.29). Thanks to a strong kick on the last lap, Thomas Riva of Qualicum Beach, B.C., secured his first national title in the men’s 1500m.

In the wheelchair 200-metres, Diane Roy of Sherbrooke, Que., and Colin Mathieson of Winnipeg, Man., each claimed top spot (34.23 & 26.84). Alexandre Dupont of Hemmingford, Que., came back from defeat in the 200-meres, to battle and hold off Josh Cassidy of Ottawa, Ont., in a close finish in the men’s wheelchair T53/T54 1500-metres (3:27.65 and 3:27.88 respectively).

What to watch on the Final Day (all times local MT) 

The men’s pole vault (12 p.m.) features Shawn Barber of Toronto, Ont. He is the Canadian record holder and 2015 NCAA indoor and outdoor champion. Jason Wurster of Toronto, Ont., will join Barber on the Pan Am Games team. 

The men’s shot put (12:15 p.m.) features 2014 Commonwealth Games bronze medallist Tim Nedow of Brockville, Ont., Jordan Young of Windsor, Ont., and Tim Hendry-Gallagher of London, Ont. Nedow and Hendry-Gallagher will represent Canada in the shot put at this year’s Pan Am Games.

The women’s 400m hurdles (12:15 p.m.) is one of the deepest fields in Canadian athletics. Sage Watson of Medicine Hat, Alta., has the IAAF World standard after finishing 4th at the NCAAs. 2012 Olympian Sarah Wells of Unionville, Ont., joins Watson on the team for Pan Ams. Fawn Dorr of Marten River, Ont., and Olympian Noelle Montcalm of Windsor Ont., can also challenge for the win. 

The men’s and women’s 200-metre finals (1:35 & 1:40 p.m.) features the defending Canadian champions in Kimberly Hyacinthe of Lachenaie, Que., and Brendon Rodney of Toronto, Ont. Hyacinthe will be challenged by training partners and 100-metre champion/runner-up, Khamica Bingham of Caledon, Ont., and Crystal Emmanuel of Pickering, Ont. Rodney’s top competition should be 100-metre runner-up Aaron Brown of Toronto, Ont., Gavin Smellie of Etobiocoke, Ont., and Dontae Richards-Kwok of Mississauga, Ont.

The women’s 800-metre final (2:15 p.m.) will also showcase one of the most competitive fields at the Championships. Pan Am Games team members Melissa Bishop of Eganville, Ont., and Jessica Smith of North Vancouver, B.C., will be challenged by recent sub two-minute performer Fiona Benson of Dawson Creek, B.C. Anything can happen over the last 200-metres of this race.

The men’s wheelchair 1500m (1:00 p.m.) features Alexandre Dupont and Josh Cassidy. These two have battled to a couple of close finishes throughout the weekend and this race should be another exciting event.
