Lancer Corey Bellemore was named male MVP in OUA track.
The Lancer men will look to defend their team banner this weekend at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport track and field championships, which gets underway Thursday at 10 a.m. with an awards luncheon on the York University campus.
The competition kicks off shortly after, with the first final, the women’s weight throw, set for 1:30 p.m. The national meet concludes Saturday afternoon with the always-exciting 4x400m relays.
The Lancer men’s team edged Ontario rival Guelph by a slim nine-point margin a year ago and lead the national rankings heading into this week’s competition.
“I have full confidence in our men’s team to perform at their best during the championships,” says head coach Brett Lumley. “They have worked hard all season long and are well prepared. The guys have been there before so they have the knowledge and experience on what to expect and how to handle all that is the CIS championships. I look forward to watching them in action.”
Windsor’s women finished fifth at the Ontario University Athletics meet and currently rank seventh in the country.
