A total of 10 records fell this past week during the ECDAA track meet with six of them being set by Yorkton athletes.
Jaden Porte of the YRHS broke the 800 metre run record in the senior category with a sparkling time of 1:57.47, while fellow YRHS runners Cole Burkholder and Derek Campbell also broke running records. Burkholder set the junior 800 metre record with a run of 2:02.09, while Campbell smashed the 3000 metre record in the midget boys category with a time of 9:51.03.
The 3000 metre record in the midget girls category also fell this past weekend. Sacred Heart's Justine Zarowny finished the race with a time of 11:34.09, good enough for both the gold medal and the record.
Another Sacred athlete proved to be the best of the bunch in his respective competition. Jonah Sutter broke the midget boys long jump record with a leap of 6.08 metres.
The final record set by a Yorkton athlete was the 3000 metre run in the pee wee division. Yorkdale's Sarah Novakowski, fresh off of breaking two records at the GSSD track meet, claimed her third record of the year with a run time of 12:12.45.
Other record breakers were Caitlin Mann of Melville (girls 3000 metre run bantam, 11:57.39), Jayne Hearn and Tori Stelmachowich , both of Melville (girls 80 metre hurdles bantam, 17.50), Jarod Stachowich of Melville (boys javelin throw bantam, 36.62 metres) and Nicole Nagy of Melville (girls javelin throw bantam, 24.59 metres).
