LIONS POST IMPRESSIVE RESULTS AT SAGINAW VALLEY STATE INVITATIONAL

The York University Lions track and field team posted a number of impressive results, including nine podium finishes, at the Jet's Pizza Invitational hosted by Saginaw Valley State University in Saginaw, Michigan.
 
Leading the way was Mikeisha Bobb (London, Ont.), who won three medals and set a new personal best in one event. She won the gold medal in the 200m and the 60m hurdles, setting a personal best time of 25.15 seconds in the first event and surpassing the OUA standard with a time of 8.71 seconds in the other.
 
She was also part of the 4x400m relay team that won the silver medal in a time of 3:54.67, running alongside teammate Heniesha Christie (Pickering, Ont.), Christy Ihunaegbo (East York, Ont.) and Nicolette Witherspoon (Pickering, Ont.).
 
Ihunaegbo was also a double medallist on the weekend, adding a bronze medal to her collection in the 400m with a time of 56.36 seconds.
 
In addition to Bobb's gold medals, long jumper Holly Pitters (Mississauga, Ont.) continued her strong season with another first-place finish in the event. She won with a distance of 5.99 metres, which set a new fieldhouse record. Teammate Stella Isaac (Toronto) joined Pitters on the podium with a third-place finish with a distance of 5.35 metres.
 
Pitters wasn't the only jumping gold medallist as Nicholas Fyffe (Vancouver) accomplished the same feat, winning the men's triple jump with a distance of 14.78 metres, good enough to surpass the U SPORTS standard for this year's championships. He was also fifth in the long jump and will compete in the OUA championships in both events.
 
The remaining two medals came on the track courtesy of Xavier Jehovah (Toronto) and Demari Grant (Brampton, Ont.). Jehovah won the silver in the 200m with a personal best time of 21.94 seconds, while Grant picked up the bronze medal in the 60m with a time of 7.10 seconds.
 
Next up for the Lions is their home York Open meet, which will take place at the Toronto Track and Field Centre on Friday and Saturday.
