field championships held at
the University of Windsor.
McKague has qualified to
compete at the provincial
high school championship
for five consecutive years, a
feat that few high school ath-
letes have accomplished.
A seasoned competitor in
the high jump in his five
years at Madill, he was able
to focus well and calmly
cleared each of the first three
heights without any misses.
He narrowly missed 1.95m
and won an OFSAA silver
medal in an unusual three-
way tie for second place. In
his junior year of competi-
tion, McKague also won a
silver medal in OFSAA high
jump. It was a fitting finale to
his successful high school
track and field career.
McKague graduates this
