This past weekend U of T’s men’s and women’s track and field team competed at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) championships hosted by the Windsor Lancers. The women’s Blues ended up placing fourth, while their male counterparts finished seventh overall in the nation. On the men’s side, the Windsor Lancers-who were led by Ryan MacKenzie-successfully defended their 2003 title. MacKenzie ended with 16 individual medals for his CIS career, and set a record by winning four gold medals this weekend. He is the only man to do so, also winning four gold medals in 2002. U of T rookie and high jump favourite Mark Dillon won gold with a jump of 2.08 metres, while Cameron Sahadath won silver in the 60 metre hurdles. The heavily favored Saskatchewan Huskies women’s team did as expected, and defended their title successfully. For the Blues, Jocelyn Adu-Gyamfi once again led the way by winning the long jump and placing fifth in the 60 metre sprint. See the full story in the Thursday edition of the Varsity.
