CHSAA Intersectional Championships

Jr Dominik Kosar (Shotput & Discus)
Fr Cordell Owens (200m)
          As the regular season came to an end, a select few athletes qualified to continue on to NYC to compete. This was the case for freshman Cordell Owens and juniors Lawrence Williams and Dominik Kosar.
           Head coach Matt Hellerer, assisted by throwing and sprinting coach Izeal Bullock, took the athletes down to compete in NYC because they yielded such great performances locally. They were to compete at Icahn Stadium on Randall's Island in NYC along side some of the best competition they have faced to this date (with the exception of the World Junior Championship for young Kosar).
          Cordell Owens ran his 200m in 23.43 seconds, one of the fastest times posted by a St. Joe's freshman in many years. Lawrence Williams ran his 400m in 51.74 seconds- which was good enough for the 5th fastest time in the prelims.


Jr Lawrence Williams (400m)
          The big winner of the day was Dominik Kosar. Dom qualified for states by winning the shot-put with a toss of 56'11, and the discus with a throw of 167'1. Congratulations to a great season to these athletes; as well, good luck to Dominik Kosar at states and any other future competition he finds himself in this season.
