THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 2001. Sports Jamie Lewis earns spot to compete at OFSAA meet A Blyth area teen has earned her way to the OFSAA track meet in Etobicoke this weekend with a sec- ond and fourth place finish. The first step to the provincial meet was made May 16-17 at TD Waterhouse Stadium in London where Jamie Lewis, a Grade 1l Central Huron Secondary School student competed in the100-metre, 200-metre and long jump events. Lewis placed second in the 100- metre in a personal best time of 12.6 seconds. Her 26.2 second run in the 200- metre saw her cross the line second. With a jump of 5.06 metres, a per- sonal best in the long jump, she earned another second. Teammate Alina Shepherd placed third in the 1,500-metre and tirst in the 3,000-metre in a time of 11:09. Kate Johnston took second in the junior girls' discus with a personal best toss of 34.16 metres and a 9.62- metre put of the shot earned her a third when another competitor scratched on her attempt. The three girls advanced to the regional meet in Sarnia, May 25-26. In horrendous conditions, Lewis placed second in the 200-metre, besting her own record by .04 set- onds. She also qualified for the provincial meet with a fourth in the 100-metre. Johnston's third in the discus with a distance of 35.89 metres will also see her travelling to the provincials. Track coach Dr. Robert Shepherd said he is impressed by Lewis' abili- ty. "She is very disciplined and trains hard."
