WINNIPEG 鈥� McGill's Charl猫ne Puel snared a couple of bronze medals on Friday at the CIS indoor track and field championship, a three-day competition at the University of Manitoba鈥檚 Max Bell Fieldhouse in Winnipeg.
听
The mathematics senior from Lyon, France, who celebrated her 22nd birthday on Thursday, ended up third in a photo finish in the 1,000-metre run. She was clocked in two minutes, 49.08 seconds, just one-tenth of a second behind race-winner Jennifer Perrault of the Ottawa Gee-Gees, who completed the event in 2:48.98. Katie Anderson of McMaster won silver in 2:49 flat.
听
The McGill record for that event is 2:45.1 set by Sarah Ali-Khan in 2003.
听
"It was a tight race. I relied on my speed at the end and leaned for the line," said Perrault.
听
Puel's other podium finish came as anchor of the 4x800 relay squad, which finished third in 8:58.93. The time was just over four seconds shy of the school record (8:54.21) set by McGill at the CIS championships last year in Sherbrooke.
听
Other members of the quartet included leadoff runner Aimee Castro, a sophomore from Ancaster, Ont., followed by junior Sarah McCuaig of Waterloo, Ont., and Alexandra Morin-Boucher, a senior who hails from St. Gabriel de Brandon and is in her first year with the track team after starring for the past four seasons with the soccer Martlets.
听
McGill finished 16th of two dozen teams in the women's team standings and did not score on the men's side. Complete results of the CIS championship can be found online at:
