MCTF THREEPEATS AS WESTERN CHAMPIONS!!!

NULLI SECUNDUS
Munro College won its third consecutive title at the 60th running of the COCAA Western Championships. The sixty-eight man team nabbed 18 gold, 9 silver and 14 bronze medals and scored 409 points to beat second place finisher Herbert Morrison by 131.5 points. The key performance of the meet came from fourth former Emmanuel Oniya (below right) who broke the Class I Shot Put record with a heave of 17.54m (6KG). Oniya has two more years left in Class I. Other outstanding performances came from team captain Jodi-Rae Blackwood who won the open 400mH and the Class I 400m, Rojay Ottey who took the Class IV sprint double, Delano Williams the Class II sprint double and Giovanni Mowatt the Class I middle distance double.

MCTF congratulates coaches Neil Harrison, Dr. Gwyn Jones, Steve Cole and Joseph Powell for putting together another victorious effort for 2010. A very special thanks and congratulations must go out to team nutritionist Chef Swaby, team physio Karey Lewis and team mothers Antoinette Davis, Donnette Reece, Ivy Lawson and our longstanding stalwart Paula Miller-Foster. We would also like to thank Puma and Big Ben Cambio for providing team gear for the 2010 season.

It was a phenomenal championship and we look forward to attempting the Fourpeat in 2011. Complete results can be found in the "2010 Meet Results" section to the right.

MCTF will next compete on Saturday February 27th at the Gibson Relays.

Best regards,
B. Hayden ('87)

I like Oniya's shoulder position coming out of the back of the circle. I think it is as per text book recommendation.
