The Laurentian indoor track team took a partial squad to the Ottawa Winter National Invitational on the weekend, racing on the unique indoor 400m track of the Louis Riel Dome.
They returned with three OUA qualifying standards and nine personal best performances.
OUA qualifiers included Nicole Rich in the 600m, Katie Wismer in the 1500m and rookie Natasha Mayer in the 300m. Mayer, Rich, Kristen Crowe, Zvia Mazal, Megan Crocker, Luke Mackrell and Gordie Chown all ran personal bests.
Nicole Rich now ranks fourth in the 600m on the Laurentian All-Time list (Modern Era). Mayer, Crowe and Mazal rank 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the 300m.
The track team's next competition is the York Open on Jan. 30.
