\"Brent<\/a><\/p>\n

Moncton, N.B. – Brent Lakatos of Dorval, Que., and Diane Roy of Sherbrooke, Que., won a pair of Para-athletics national titles on day two of the Canadian Track and Field Championships. Lakatos won gold in the wheelchair T53 200 and 1500-metres while Roy took gold in the women’s events bringing both of their total gold medal counts at these Championships to four. <\/p>\n

Track event finals on day two began with the men’s and women’s 400-metres. Daundre Barnaby of Brampton, Ont., used a strong homestretch run over the last 100-metres to take the men’s title in a time of 45.96. Carline Muir of Edmonton, Alta., claimed the women’s title, her 3rd outdoor 400-metres Canadian Championships, winning convincingly in 52.13.<\/p>\n

With their wins in the 100-metres final, Gavin Smellie of Etobicoke, Ont., and Crystal Emmanuel of Toronto, Ont., each claimed titles as “Fastest Man and Woman in Canada.” Smellie was able to hold off a talented group of sprinters to cross the line in 10.37. Emmanuel claimed her third 100-metres national title running 11.47 into a 0.7 m\/s headwind. “I’m going to the Commonwealth Games and will try to bring home a medal for Canada,” explained Emmanuel.<\/p>\n

Defending national champions in the 3000-metres steeplechase, Matthew Hughes of Oshawa, Ont. & Jessica Furlan of Regina, Sask., each succesfully defended their crowns. Hughes and Furlan put in strong moves over the last couple of laps to pull away from their respective fields to secure convincing wins. Furlan’s time of 9:55.71 was good for a new Canadian Championship record.<\/p>\n

Jessica O’Connell of Calgary, Alta., and Cameron Levins of Campbell River, B.C., proved to be the class of the 5000-metres fields. Levins ran alone for the majority of his effort and came up less than a second short of Sean Kaley’s 13:15.16 Championship record. “I’m looking forward to what’s going to come later in the season, I think this is a good step for me.”<\/p>\n

In field events Julie Labont\u00e9 of Sainte-Justine, Que., and Tim Nedow of Brockville, Ont., backed up their Shot in the Dark titles from last night with wins in the discus competition. Over at the triple jump, Caroline Ehrhardt of Espanola, Ont., and Patrick Hanna of Montreal, Que., took home national titles with jumps of 13.06-metres & 14.86-metres.<\/p>\n

Men’s high jump, featuring Commonwealth Games teammates Derek Drouin of Corunna, Ont., and Michael Mason of Nanoose Bay, B.C., went as predicted. Drouin, the 2012 Olympic and 2013 World Championship bronze medallist cleared 2.28-metres on his way to victory. Mason was second.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Gleadle of Vancouver, B.C., improved her Championship record in winning the women’s javelin with a throw of 60.62-metres. The previous mark of 60.12-metres was set by Gleadle in 2012.<\/p>\n

In para-athletics throws, Christel Robichaud of Moncton, N.B., set a Canadian record in the F56 category wheelchair discus with a toss of 15.10-metres.<\/p>\n
