OTTAWA – The 2010 Canadian track and field season was highlighted by a few significant events such as the World Junior Championships held on home soil in Moncton, New-Brunswick, the strong showing at the Commonwealth Games, and Priscilla Lopes-Schliep’s domination in the 100-metre hurdles culminating with a Diamond League title. The season will also be remembered as one of record breaking proportions with five new world records set by Canadian athletes and 65 new Canadian records (57 outdoor records, 8 indoor records). The women led the charge with 32 new records with Canadian men recording 25.
Para-athletics world records fall
Kyle Pettey of Brampton, ON broke the world record twice in the F34 cerebral palsy classification shot put. Pettey’s second world record establishing performance was on the years’ biggest stage, he set a new world standard of 11.44 metres to secure gold at the Commonwealth Games.
Sherbrooke, QC’s Diane Roy accomplished a world double by setting world records in the T54 wheelchair classification 1500-metres and 5000-metres. Roy’s 1500-metres time of 3:21.39 was set on June 24 at the Bahnmeeting in Arbon, Switzerland but was bettered a few days later by Rochelle Woods of Great Britain. In the 5000-metres Diane holds the World record time of 11:16.96 set June 27 at the Swiss Championships.
Michelle Stilwell of Nanoose Bay, BC bettered two world records which she already owned in the T52 wheelchair 100 and 200-metres. At the Bahnmeeting in Arbon Switzerland June 24th Michelle improved both of her world records to 19.52 and 35.82 respectively.
