Kallee Elliott is getting used to standing at the top of the podium.

The LCCVI student, competing for the Sarnia Athletics Southwest Track and Field Club, has won back-to-back gold medals in girls’ U16 high jump events over the past two weekends.

She leaped 1.55 metres to capture first place at the Royal Canadian Legion provincial championships at Laurentian University in Sudbury last weekend following a 1.50 meter victory in the same event the weekend before at the Flying Angels International meet in the GTA.

Meantime, Liam Hackett won the boys’ U16 200-m hurdles final at the Flying Angels event in a time of 26.45, edging out LCCVI teammate Rhys Marriott who crossed the line in 26.74 seconds.

Hackett and Marriott placed third and fourth respectively in the boys’ 100 m hurdles final.

Petrolia’s Rachel Burns was second in the U20 shot put with a throw of 10.43 m and was fifth in the hammer throw.

Megan Munro had a pair of fourth place finishes in U18 hurdle finals while Khloe Barron had a pair of sixth place finishes.

Camlachie’s Keala Pickard took second place in the U18 3000-meter final at the provincial Legion event in a time of 10:37.42 and was fourth in the 1500m final.

Kole Chapman won a bronze medal and came within the blink of an eye of second one.

He placed third in the U18 400m hurdles in a time of 56.60 seconds and missed a second medal finishing fourth in the 110m hurdles just 1/100th of a second from the podium.

Mooretown’s Camryn Leitch was third in the women’s javelin final at the Athletics Ontario U20 championships in Windsor last weekend with a throw of 34.31m.

Forest’s Emma Munroe and Burns also placed in the top ten at the Windsor event.
