| Gold for Aaron & Arren at Junior Nationals - Winnipeg, Manitoba - July 8-10, 2011 |
| Aaron Brown continued his stellar season winning Gold in the Junior Men's 100m in a time of 10.44s and earning a silver medal in the 200m with a time of 21.39.
He is far and away the best Junior sprinter in the country and one of the best in the world. I for one am looking forward to seeing Aaron in London in 2012.
Arren Young leapt to 6.89m to win Gold in the Junior Men's Long Jumping. Seven metres is just around the corner and maybe more.
Another exceptional performance was delivered by Marlon Laidlaw-Allen. Marlon won Bronze medals in the Junior Men's 100m (10.57s) and 200m (21.57s).
Special mention for Brendon Rodney for his 5th place finish in the 100ms (10.87s) and 4th in the 200m (21.76s) and Andrew Costello in his 8th place finish in the Men's 800m.
Congratulations to all of our athletes!!! |
