Chilly Half 2019 results
The Chilly Half and Frosty 5K are southern Ontario's way of bidding a hopeful goodbye to winter weather

March 3rd, 2019 by Anne Francis in Canadian Runinng Magazine

The sun came out for this morning’s Chilly Half and Frosty 5K in Burlington, Ont., and the lack of wind made for some excellent finishing times, despite a partial diversion due to construction on the course. Falling six weeks before the Boston Marathon, the half is a magnet for some of southern Ontario’s big names as well as recreational athletes looking for a tuneup race. Toronto’s Sami Jibril and Hamilton’s Victoria Coates broke the tape in the half, while Phil Parrot-Migas of Mississauga (who also won in 2018) and Tanis Bolton of Paris, Ont. were the winners of the 5K.

Sudbury Running Room's Eric Leishman Places 5th

Congratulations goes out to our Running Room Manager and best distance runner in Sudbury for breaking into the top 5 in Burlington's Chilly Half Marathon on Sunday. Eric Leishman maintained a blistering 3:18/km. pace for the event bringing him home in a time of 1:09:28. He also placed 2nd in his 25-29 age group only 12 seconds behind the 2nd placer.

His next competition will be at the SudburyRocks Marathon on May 12 where he has won the half marathon and marathon every time he has competed.

OUA Indoor Track and Field Championships
York University, Toronto, February 22-23, 2019

The Laurentian indoor track team competed at the OUA Indoor Track and Field Championships this weekend, returning with five top-10 finishes, four personal best performances and one school record.

Megan Crocker cracked the top-10 in both the 1500m and the 3000m, finishing 5th in the 3000m with time of 10:02.38 and 7th in the 1500m with a time of 4:51.35. She remains in the hunt for a Nationals berth in the 3000m, with final qualifiers to be announced on Tuesday.

She was joined in the top-10 by rookie Justin Graenert, who ran to an 8th place finish in the 600m with a personal best time of 1:21.40. Graenert’s time broke the school record of 1:21.93 that was set by Marc Poulin in 1984.

Erin Hansel also finished in the top-10 with a personal time of 2:58.70 in the 1000m.

With the probable exception of Megan Crocker, this concludes Laurentian’s track season for the year, with training for summer-track and Fall cross-country seasons to begin in two weeks.

Just a follow-up. Megan Crocker has qualified for the U SPORTS Track and Field Championships. Crocker's best 3000m time of 9:53.41 is Laurentian's third-best all-time and was enough to move her into the top-12 in the country and a spot at nationals.

It's the first time since 2009 that a Laurentian runner has qualified for the national university track and field championships. They'll be held in Winnipeg from March 6-9.
