Athletes Prepare For CIS Track And Field Championships


Three South Shore athletes are competing this week at the CIS Track and Field Championships in Edmonton, Alberta. Lunenburg's Jesse Drennan along with Bridgewater's Rachael McIntosh and Jen Pitman are all representing their respective universities at the event. Drennan and McIntosh will each compete in the indoor pentathlon while Pitman is in the women's high jump. McIntosh says she's ready to go.



McIntosh says she's ranked number one heading into pentathlon, but her training partner at the University of Calgary is right behind her. She will also compete in the women's long jump and 4 x 400 metre race. Events get underway tomorrow afternoon in Edmonton. Live results will be posted here once the competition starts.
