Pirates capture Ontario track and field crown

It was another banner performance by Thousand Islands Secondary School (TISS).
The Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) 2019 Track and Field Championships were held in Guelph from Thursday to Saturday. TISS athletes won two gold and two silver medals, and the Pirates racked up 51 points to capture the boys overall title for the third year in a row.
“We are very happy to have achieved such great results,” TISS Coach Randy Givogue stated on Monday.
“To have 30 athletes qualify for provincials might be the biggest highlight of all,” he stated.
The program’s success “…is a testament to the hard work put in by all of our coaches, our intermediate team in previous years, and our local Legion Track and Field Club who trains some of these athletes in the summer and winter months,” Givogue said. “It is a community effort by all.”
Benayo Olak medalled in two different events at the Ontario championships on Friday. Olak won a silver medal in the senior boys high jump in the morning and proceeded to win gold in the senior boys triple jump later in the afternoon. He was in fourth place after the fourth of six rounds in the triple jump; his fifth jump measured 14.38 metres, giving him a 2-cm victory over two other competitors.
“I know I jumped a good jump,” said Olak, who noted that his runway for the previous jump of 14.26 felt good and the one for the winning effort felt even better. “I just made sure I got my heels up,” he added.
TISS was tied for fourth in the boys division after day two on Friday.
Wyatt Knapp won TISS’ second gold medal at OFSAA 2019 in the senior boys pole vault on Saturday. In what the coach referred to as the surprise of the day, Knapp won the event with a personal best of 4.20 metres.
“I couldn’t believe it,” the Grade 11 student said on Monday.
Knapp, who indicated his goal going into OFSAA was top eight, cleared 4.20 on his third attempt when there were only three others left in the competition. Knapp “knew” then that he would win. “It was good; felt great,” he commented.
When asked about goals following his gold-medal performance at OFSAA, Knapp said he wants to jump 4.40 this summer and then, hopefully, clear 4.60 at the end of next season.
In addition to placing first overall on the boys side, TISS won the senior boys crown for the third consecutive year.
In the last track event at OFSAA, the TISS team of Mason Jones, Raef Wykes, Jordan Blanchard and Dillon Landon won a silver medal in the open boys 4×400-m final in a time of 3:19.86. It was the third year in a row the TISS boys relay team had won a provincial medal.
The TISS boys picked up 36 points from their four medal wins. They added 15 points from several other top-eight finishes in other events on Friday and Saturday.
Olak noted that this year’s OFSAA boys title was probably the hardest of the three. “We’ve been through a lot this season,” he said, noting the Pirates managed to overcome injuries and were able to push themselves. “I’m really proud of this team.”
As for Olak, his 2019 OFSAA appearance had added meaning. He will be continuing his studies at the University of Guelph beginning later this summer. It was his first time competing at the facility, and Olak said it was ‘secial’ to see the coaches with whom he will be working next year. “That was big for me,” he commented.
Olak and Knapp weren’t the only local athletes to strike gold at OFSAA. Kaylee Clark of Gananoque placed first in the junior girls javelin throw on Saturday afternoon. The Grade 10 student’s winning effort of 41.73 metres was more than three-and-a-half metres longer than the second-place throw.
The other local medal winner was Haydn Leaf of Brockville Collegiate Institute (BCI), who placed third in the visually impaired boys 100-m dash. His time was 14.61 seconds.
BCI, TISS and St. Mary will hand out their 2018-2019 athletic awards on Tuesday.
