Only two records were broken and two tied in the day-long run of action, two of those in the bantam division.
Gravelbourg’s Olivia Brisebois set a new record in the bantam girls javelin, clearing 24.77 metres to edge Holly Knudsen’s mark of 24.69 set in 2013.
Shaina Gee from Assiniboia Elementary came within a hair’s breadth of a new mark in the bantam girls 80 metre hurdles, recording a time of 14.1 seconds to tie the record set by Bailee Switzer in 2001.
Cornerstone’s Aliyah Block set a new record in the midget girls shot put (see related story) while Maurissa Metz of Vanier also settled for a tie in the midget girls 80 metre hurdles, with her time of 12.7 seconds putting her in the books alongside Kristin Peter and J. Ellertson, who both ran the same time way back in 1989.
