The rain held off this weekend for a fantastic outdoor Combined Events Championship! It was great to see so many athletes come out to compete, both provincially and nationally, at the University of Toronto’s Varsity Stadium.
Your Open Men’s Decathlon national Champion, Taylor Ehrhardt, of London Western T.F.C., had some tremendous performances to earn him the gold. Entering day two in seventh place, he won four of the five events, earning him 6,892 total points and both the provincial and national gold medals.
In the Open Women’s Heptathlon, national team member Georgia Ellenwood was the leader after day one, but unfortunately did not compete on day two, leaving it wide open for anyone to take. Some strong performances by all of the athletes resulted in a silver-gold combo for Ontario athlete Dallyssa Huggins, who earned medals both provincially and nationally, respectively.
Final Results will be available on our site shortly, please visit our results page to access those.
