St. Mary set two records in same race for second straight week; Districts wrap up

May 29, 2014 | 6:45 PM

St. Mary’s teammates and longtime friends Chris Woods and Austin Strauss continue to dominate the Junior Boys 400m race.

For the second week in a row, the Marauders duo both broke records in the same race. They both beat North Central District meet record of 53.94 seconds Thursday at Prime Minister's Park, originally set by Derek Osolinsky’s in 2002.

Woods got the gold with a 52.67 time, just a fraction faster than Strauss’ 52.71.

At the Prince Albert City High School Track and Field Meet last week, Strauss brought home the first place ribbon with a time of 52.54, edging out Woods (53.06) while both broke records. Strauss was able to make a pass in the last 15 minutes to narrowly finish ahead of Woods. But Thursday at districts, Woods was able to hold on by just a thread.

“I was worried if I could finish with a first here (or not). I did come out on top, but it was pretty lucky I thought,” said Woods. “The last stretch was really tough, we both had a big wind in our faces and it felt like every stride, he was gaining on me.

“I thought for sure he was going to catch me but I stuck it out long enough. It was a good race for both of us.”

The Saskatchewan High School Athletic Association Track and Field Provincials are a week away, but Woods and Strauss should be considered in the hunt for provincial medals, if not the first and second spots.

“We’re excited and our coach (Kelly Prins) is really excited to have us in the same age group, and both under 53 seconds,” said Woods. “That should be really good.”

That won’t be all that Woods is going to provincials for. In fact, he’ll be representing the Marauders in all four of his events on the provincial stage and finished tied for second in the junior boys aggregate with 30 points.

Along with Woods’ record breaking gold 400m finish, Woods finished second place in pole vault. He also ended up in third place finish in shot put and discus, but since Carlton’s Graham Meyer won’t be attending provincials, Woods will take his place.

“It will be a tough week ahead practicing all those,” Woods said through a grin.
