(VERSION FRANÇAISE SUIT)
SHERBROOKE — McGill's men collected three silver medals and one bronze to place fifth overall at the RSEQ Last Chance qualifying meet, a two-day competition held in Sherbrooke, Feb. 13-14.
The event failed to produce any new qualifiers for Redbirds to meet the lofty standards for competing at nationals. The only remaining route is through the upcoming RSEQ conference championships, slated to be hosted by McGill, Feb. 20-22, where a qualifying standard or a gold medal will get the job done.
The Redbirds finished with 36 points in the team standings. Sherbrooke claimed the title with 158.5 points, followed by Laval (87), Montréal (70) and ETS (50.5), while Concordia (26), UQAC (15), CMR Saint-Jean (9), UQAM (5) and UQTR (1) rounded out the standings.
The McGill men were missing some of their top sprinters as Sacha Dernoncourt, Samuel Hepworth, Sean Adams and Benjamin Morales all opted to head south, down to Boston, where they competed in the David Hemery Valentine's Invitational at Boston University.
Dernoncourt posted a bronze medal performance in the 1000 metres (2:22.43), which currently ranks as the third fastest time in the national leaders produced by trackie.com. He was followed by Hepworth, who finished fourth (2:22.45) and that ranks fourth in Canada. Adams was sixth in Boston (2:22.88), which puts him seventh in the nation. Morales ran the 3000m (8:35.87).
Meanwhile, back at the Sherbrooke meet, Ben Gates, a mechanical engineering sophomore from Regina, led McGill's podium efforts with a runner-up finish in the 600 metres, clocking 1:20.75.
Lucas Levenson, a management sophomore from Toronto, added another silver in the 1500m in 4:17.02, and Emmett Pindar, a physical education sophomore from Ottawa, secured silver in the long jump with a mark of 6.45m.
Jay Yetman, an Arts junior from Ottawa, accounted for McGill's lone bronze medal, placing third in the 300m in 36.18 seconds.
