Pumas produce medals at meet

PICKERING — The Pine Ridge Secondary School Pumas track and field team made their presence felt at the first Birchmount Park Indoor Invitational Track Meet at York Uni- versity this past Thursday. Competing against some of the top high school athletes in the GTA, the Puma athletes produced many outstanding performances. Ayesha Rumble led the charge for Pine Ridge by winning three individual events. She placed first in the senior girls’ 300 metres in a time of 41.23 seconds, the open girls’ long jump with a leap of 5.09 metres and the senior girls’ 600 metres with an outstanding time of 1:35.72. Kyle Gill placed second in two individual events. He was second in the senior boys’ 60-metre dash with a time of 7.04 seconds and second in the 300 metres with a time of 35.20. Shona Dunkley also placed second in the senior girls’ 60-metre dash in a time of 8.09 seconds. In the relay events, the Pumas’ 4-x-200-metre sprint relay team of Marlon McCleary, Kyle Gill, Justin Gordon and Chris Gordon placed sixth in a time of 1:38.49.
