Misner-Daley was last year’s OFSAA 200m junior champion. He has now moved up a distance and age group, competing this year at the 400m in the senior division. Both grade eleven and twelve students compete against each other in the senior age category, making the races very competitive.

In the men’s blind 100m dash, Austin Ingram of Petawawa, Ont. defended his title to win in a time of 11.65.
