On Saturday, July 5, 29 members of the Meaford Coyotes Track Club ventured to Brampton for the 4th annual Flying Angels Classic Track and Field Meet.
“This was a great meet for many of our newer runners as it was a lower-key competition,” said club coach Kevin Hooper. “With 34 teams registering for the event, the Coyotes brought home a boat-load of medals consisting of five gold, 10 silver and 10 bronze, placing us fourth overall in the total medal count. More importantly, they achieved 29 personal best performances and gained valuable race experience.”
Congratulations go out to Kara Tichbourne, who set two provincial records as a first year Tyke. She placed 2nd in the 800m behind a 2nd year Tyke. Her time of 2:47.53 broke the old record by over one second. She was 1st in the 1500m with a time of 5:32.67, shattering the old record by over 6 seconds. Kara led both races from start to finish.
