IAAF World U20 Championships Highlights

Sunday July 15 concluded the week-long 2018 IAAF World U20 Championships competition in Tampere, Finland. Team Canada featured 20 Ontario athletes on the 32 athlete roaster. Athletics Ontario members competed tremendously well, having 13 athletes qualify for finals in their respected events.

The highlight of the competition took place on the last day of competition, when the women’s 4x400m relay team broke the U20 Canadian record, finishing in a time of 3:31.93, just missing the podium by .03 seconds! The women’s relay team was comprised of Athletics Ontario members Lauren Gale, Aurora Rynda, Sharelle Samuel and, Xahria Santiago, who had just finished 8th in the women’s 400m hurdle final a few days prior. She stated: “I just wanted to have a nice first lap and get us in a good position.” Aurora Rynda, who also competed earlier in the week, in the women’s 800m, shared “I was feeling pretty good, a little nervous but you know, I got a good team!” Congratulation girls on a well earned fourth place finish!

Congratulations to all of the Athletics Ontario members who competed. We are very proud of your accomplishments thus far, and look forward to supporting you in the future!
