BrantfordWhile Brantford high schools postponed its games Thursday night
due to heavy
fog and the cancellation of buses, it didn't stop runners from the schools
travelling to the Central Western Ontario Secondary Schools Association
championships in Guelph.It's a good thing they made it to Centennial Park
because several area
runners - and Paris District High School in particular - performed
extremely
well."It was an outstanding day," Paris coach Ross Enslev said when he got
back
into town. "There was an amazing amount of participation."Enslev had a lot
to smile about when the races were over as several local
runners qualified for the Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic
Association
championships to be held in Brampton on Nov. 3 and 4.Qualifying for the
provincial meet were North Park Collegiate's Kim
Beardwood, Ashley MacDonald and Colin Sullivan as well as Paris' Laura
MacCallum, Tabitha Copping, Michelle MacKay, Erin Taylor, Kendra Bethune
and
Heather McLaren.Enslev made special note of one of his competitors."It's
fantastic to see Heather McLaren go to OFSSA in her OAC year," Enslev
said of the basketball and running star. McLaren was sixth in the senior
girls division to qualify for the Ontario championships.On her own behalf,
McLaren said her goals weren't too high."I was hoping to come in top-ten,"
the 18-year-old OAC student said, "but
that was just a hope."I did not expect at all to make it to OFSSA this year
just because I wasn't
training as hard as I wanted to."McLaren, who is a member of the Woodstock
Legion Track club, said before the
race she noticed several girls from other track clubs but during the race
she didn't pay any attention to anything but running."During the race I
didn't even know how far up I was," McLaren, last year's
Brant County champion in the senior girls 1,500 and 3,000 metres, said.
With only a 150 metres to go, her dad Grant - who along with wife Janet and
son Chris attended the meet - let her know what she needed to do to qualify
for OFSSA."My dad was there and he was along the sidelines and he said 'You
got to go,
you got to go,'" said McLaren, who passed four girls in that stretch to
grab
the final qualifying spot.McLaren said her dad - an Olympian in the 5,000
metres in both 1972 and 1976
- has always been there for her."He was always my inspiration," she said.
"He never really pushed me to run,
I just wanted to."McLaren doesn't know how she'll do at OFSSA but she has
high hopes for the
midget girls team, which placed an impressive second in the team portion of
the event."The midget girls blew me out of the water when they came back
and told me
they finished second," she said. "I'm really impressed with them."Enslev
was also ecstatic about the results of that particular team."I believe
that's the first (cross-country) team we've ever sent to OFSSA,"
he said.The Paris coach hopes the results of this year's participants
carries over
into the future as he tries to build the program up."We're hoping to start
a tradition with our midgets," Enslev said. "We've
always had good quality but now I'm going to try to get quality and
quantity."The following are the individual results from the meet.MIDGET
