MONTREAL —
Julie Bortolato of Mountain View, Calif., paced the Martlets to gold as McGill collected five podiums and finished second of 19 teams at the 29th annual McGill Team Challenge, a two-day indoor meet that wrapped up on Saturday.
Billed as the largest indoor track meet in Canada, the event drew 54 teams and clubs, with a total of 864 athletes. Two records were set on the women's side.
Maggie Smith of the Athletics East Nova Scotia club registered 4:16.55 in the 1500m, erasing the fieldhouse mark (4:18.75) set in 2007 by
Megan Brown from the U of T Varsity Blues. Smith's time was not considered a Team Challenge meet record, since results from clubs are treated as exhibition and don't count in the scoring for this meet. The other record established was in the women's 60m hurdles, where
Maria Thérésa Ulysse of the Montreal Carabins was clocked in 8.52 to tie the meet record previously set by Sherbrooke's
Maoly St-Germain.
The Martlets finished second of 19 universities in the women's division. McGill collected 108 points in the team standings to finish just 11 behind the first-place Montreal Carabins.
Bortolato, a 21-year-old cognitive science sophomore, cleared 3.50 metres in the women's pole vault on Friday, to earn the Martlets' lone gold victory of the meet. The team added to its medal count with three silvers and a bronze.
The Martlets 4x800-metre relay produced a silver medal finish, as
Marie Billaud,
Arowyn Fitzpatrick,
Emma Veilleux and
Julia Berube-Boutin combined for a time of 9:11.32.
The Martlets followed with another relay silver in the 4x400, where
Ashleigh Brown,
Jade Jones,
Rebecca El Mairy and
Natalya Babkine completed the race in 3:57.45.
In the field,
Rebecca Warcholak, a science junior from Toronto, added silver in the triple jump with a leap of 11.72 metres.
Ella Villeneuve, a science senior from Richmond, Vermont, rounded out McGill's podium finishes with bronze in the hammer throw, tossing a distance of 12.91m.
Next on tap is the Boston University Valentine Invitational and the Carleton last Chance qualifying meet, Feb. 13-14 before McGill serves as host of the RSEQ championships, Feb. 20-21.

======================================================
Les Martlets terminent deuxièmes sur 19 équipes grâce à la performance en or de Bortolato au McGill Team Challenge
Les relais et les épreuves sur terrain permettent aux Martlets de remporter cinq places sur le podium
MONTRÉAL — Julie Bortolato, de Mountain View, en Californie, a mené les Martlets à la médaille d'or, tandis que McGill a remporté cinq podiums et terminé deuxième sur 19 équipes lors du 29e McGill Team Challenge annuel, une compétition en salle de deux jours qui s'est terminée samedi.
Présentée comme la plus grande compétition d'athlétisme en salle au Canada, l'événement a attiré 54 équipes et clubs, avec un total de 864 athlètes. Deux records ont été établis chez les femmes. Maggie Smith, du club Athletics East Nova Scotia, a enregistré un temps de 4:16,55 au 1500 m, effaçant ainsi le record de la salle (4:18,75) établi en 2007 par Megan Brown, de l'équipe Varsity Blues de l'Université de Toronto. Le temps de Smith n'a pas été considéré comme un record du Team Challenge, car les résultats des clubs sont traités comme des exhibitions et ne comptent pas dans le classement de cette compétition. L'autre record établi a été celui du 60 m haies féminin, où Maria Thérésa Ulysse, des Carabins de Montréal, a réalisé un temps de 8,52, égalant le record de la compétition précédemment établi par Maoly St-Germain, de Sherbrooke.
Les Martlets ont terminé deuxièmes sur 19 universités dans la division féminine. McGill a récolté 108 points au classement par équipe, terminant à seulement 11 points des Carabins de Montréal, qui ont remporté la première place.
Bortolato, une étudiante de deuxième année en sciences cognitives âgée de 21 ans, a franchi 3,50 mètres au saut à la perche féminin vendredi, remportant ainsi la seule médaille d'or des Martlets lors de cette compétition. L'équipe a ajouté trois médailles d'argent et une médaille de bronze à son palmarès.
Le relais 4 x 800 mètres des Martlets a remporté la médaille d'argent, Marie Billaud, Arowyn Fitzpatrick, Emma Veilleux et Julia Berube-Boutin ayant réalisé un temps combiné de 9:11,32.
Les Martlets ont ensuite remporté une autre médaille d'argent au relais 4 x 400 mètres, où Ashleigh Brown, Jade Jones, Rebecca El Mairy et Natalya Babkine ont terminé la course en 3:57,45.
Dans les épreuves de terrain, Rebecca Warcholak, étudiante en sciences de Toronto, a ajouté une médaille d'argent au triple saut avec un bond de 11,72 mètres. Ella Villeneuve, étudiante en sciences de Richmond, dans le Vermont, a complété le podium de McGill avec une médaille de bronze au lancer du marteau, avec un jet de 12,91 m.
Les prochaines épreuves sont le Valentine Invitational de l'Université de Boston et la rencontre de qualification Carleton Last Chance, les 13 et 14 février, avant que McGill n'accueille les championnats RSEQ, les 20 et 21 février.
