Track Athletes are All Ontario Bound!

Oct 23, 2020
7 athletes compete at OFSSA regionals and all 7 advance.


The Port High track team had an outstanding first day at the OFSAA South Regional Meet yesterday! This meet involved the best athletes from Niagara, Hamilton, Mississauga and Brampton. Our first qualifier of the day was Kreek Barrick in grade 9 in shot put. Kreek found himself in sixth place with one throw remaining and only the top four finishers advance to next week. On his final attempt, Kreek showed great focus and was able to put together a very strong effort of 13.50 meters and won the competition! Our second qualifier of the day was grade 9 long jumper Emily Gamble. Emily had a very good day and was able to finish second in a very tough field. Emily goes into next week ranked top five in the province! Our third qualifier of the day was grade 10 discus thrower Luke Clattenburg. Luke simply did not give the rest of the field a chance as all six of his throws were good enough to win the competition. His best one reaching just shy of the 50 meter mark, despite very poor wind conditions for discus throwing. The action continues today as Ilyssa, Jazmin, Nicole, Zack and Emily take on the rest of southern Ontario in hopes of qualifying for next weeks OFSAA championships in Oshawa. Great job everyone!
