University of Guelph Athletics

Third-year Anthony Romaniw (Hamilton, Ont.) was a triple gold medalist this past weekend, guiding the Guelph Gryphons men’s track and field team to their first-ever OUA banner at the 2012-13 Track and Field Championships in Windsor. The Gryphon men ended the Windsor Lancers 14-year reign to grab their first-ever provincial banner.
 
The Human Kinetics student opened the two-day meet with a gold medal in the men’s 1000m (2:26.41) race. Later that day he anchored the 4x800m gold medal winning team. On Day 2 he added another gold medal to his resume in the men’s 600m race with a time of 1:19.63. He then anchored the silver medal 4x800m relay team to become the highest point scorer at the OUA Championships.
 
Romaniw and the Gryphons will be off this weekend as they prepare for the CIS Championships hosted by the University of Alberta from March 7-9.
