The East Northumberland Blue Dragons will send a total of 10 athletes to the 2009 OFSAA Track and Field Championships in Toronto next weekend following the results of the East Regional meet held in Brockville Thursday and Friday. Only the top 4 in each event advance to OFSAA in each event.
The Blue Dragons Senior Captain David Quinn will compete in two events, the Senior Boys 1500 metres and 3000 metres based on his 4th and 2nd place finishes. Rookie Rueben Meens will compete in two individual events, the Midget Boys 100 metre hurdles and the 300 metre hurdles. He also was a part of a Midget Boys 4 x 100m relay team that qualified by finishing 4th in their race. other members of the relay team include Kyle Tilley, Josh Field and Darrin Morgan.
Jordan Langridge was the only Blue Dragon to win an event, as he won his specialty, the 800 metres for Senior Boys in a time of 1:55.85. Langridge should be one of the favourites in what will be a marvellous Sr boys 800 metre final next week.
Other athletes to qualify were:
Wei Wei Yan Jr Boys 300 metre hurdles
Jake Maynard Jr Boys 100 metre hurdles
Rachel Windsor Open girls 1500 metre Steeplechase
