Record Breaking Weekend for Canadian Track and FieldMonday, January 30, 2012 OTTAWA- The 2012 athletics season is only a few weeks old and yet we are already seeing Canadian records falling, three track and field athletes broke Canadian indoor records this weekend; all records are pending ratification. Julie Labonté of Ste. Justine, Que., bettered her Canadian Indoor record in the shot put for the fifth time. Labonté won at the Razorback Invitational on Saturday with a new personal best and national mark of 18.01-metres. Sarnia, Ontario’s Brittany Lewis claimed the indoor junior 600-metres record with a time of 1:29.96 in Bloomington, Indiana. Her performance currently marks the fastest Canadian time in the women’s 600-metres event this year. Brianne Theisen of Humbolt, Sask., returned to competition in a big way on Friday after a back injury that kept her out for most of the 2011 season. Theisen broke the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and Canadian Indoor Pentathlon records, scoring 4555 points to win the difficult five event competition. She bettered Jill Ross-Geffen’s of 4550, originally set in 1982 by five points.
