Again this year a largo number of Durham high sehool athietes appear bound for the OFSA championships ini Juno. Horo is a look at the best prospects from Henry Strèet Hfigh School and Anderson CVI. ANDERSON Last year senior boy Andy Brereton, winner of three LOSSA gold moedale, decided to drop the 200m race te, concentrate on bis two other events and ended up with an OFSAA gold modal i tho Ioneî yparho broke hie LOSSA jump record only te see it surpasSd by .?ickoring's Sain Davis. Howovor, Brereton ran impressively te win gold in two races against some of the best high echool runners in the province. In a tight race aganst Dàvis, Harwood's Riooe Feming and Dwyer's, Kith D'Andrade, Brereton, who had already set a LOSSA record in the semi-final, held 'en to an initial, lead. A similar stoiy i the 200m race but here ,h. seemed to, ho in greater control. In an cae'twa a good bat that O~ athletes would sweep the top three positions in the senior boys sprint at DYSS;ç3AA. Another sprinter and 1991 gold medalist, Adrian Woodley, placed second te a very strong second-year. junior, Jason Bruniley in junior boys 110m ANDERSON CVI's...Darryl Metealfe competes j» the1 midget, age long jumup event at the LOSSA track and field competition in Oshawa.

They were likely te, repeat their finish this week with Woodley looldng for gold. Another naine te look for at the DYSSAA meet is Pennie Santiago, flfth-placed OFSA finalist in,'1991, who lias a longtime reputation as an excellent track and field athiete. A strong - runner who :cross-country in the falI, she placed second to, McLaughlinds Brooke Stinson in the junior girls' 200m but turned the tables as she broke from the field te win gold in the 400m race. . At the other end of the scale. Anderson' cross-country succes has split ever inte the distance events on the track with athletes who are expected te run well this week. Midget run ner Jiff Clayton, tep ton finaflet at last year's OFSAA- cross-country chaxnpionship, ran .te a silver modal in a see-saw battle with McLaughuin' Lucas Hayes and D4wye'sCrg Marshall in the 1500m race. The rýace was one of the, closest distance ovents of the championship. Clayton coupled tbis effort-with another silver in the 200m race and later added a gold in the 3000m. A runner who' has a reputation of getting faster as'the compotition gets stronger, h.- lias an excellent chance of advancing te OFSAA. Stephanle Duffy, another flfty p1cefli llst last year at the OFAcan ho counted on te ru well iu the distance ovents. A bronze, silver and gold- medalist ln the junior girls' 800m, 1500m and 3000m races rospectively, she, is a togh and-,experiencod lthe senior girls' events, look for Angla and Azùanda Miles-Berry. Identical twins, they raod stop for stop te a gold-siver finish in the 1500m and 3000m races and a silver-brouze ini the 800M racé, at LOSSA. HENRY SRET 1991 OFSAA gold modalistý in the junior boys' 110m- hurdles, Jason Bacchiochi, may, veiy well repeat last year's succoss at the senior level. A strong win at LOSSA against fast cometitors, Pickering's Bryan Kitonand Kyle Robinson, who ran second te, Bacchiochi at OFSAA last year, showed that ho e in excellent shape. Henry Street'ssuccess in the Jason Brumley wholined up with teamniate Bacehiochi at last year's OFSAA finals. A second- year junior, ho won the 110m hurles at LOSSA, like Bacchiochi, against- very strong competitors,, in hurdies, Andersiond Adrian Woodfley and Pickering's Dion Trowers.
