Canadian Track and Field
Championships
Varsity Blues Tamara Jewett and
Alex Witmer both won silver medals
at the 2011 Canadian Track and
Field Championships, held in Calgary
in June.
Finishing the women’s 5000m just
four seconds behind winnner Leslie
Sexton, Jewett ran the race in
16:59.16.
Like men’s high jump title-winner
and Blues alumni Mark Dillon, Witmer
