McIntosh, Drennan Win Medals At CIS Track Championships
A pair of South Shore athletes have set Nova Scotia senior records with their performances at the CIS Track and Field Championships in Edmonton. Bridgewater's Rachael McIntosh struck gold in the women's pentathlon while Lunenburg's Jesse Drennan notched a silver medal in the men's pentathlon. The 22-year-old McIntosh won three of the five events including the shotput, long jump and 800 metre run on route to a personal best and defending her title from last year. Drennan, meanwhile, had the top score in the shotput and also placed third in the high jump and long jump events. Bridgewater's Jen Pitman will compete in the women's high jump on Saturday.
