Track and Field Championships wrap in Hay River

And so the largest single sporting event in the NWT is committed to history for another year.

The 2018 NWT Track and Field Championships finished on June 8 in Hay River and brought new winners, new records and new memories for the athletes.

In terms of the awards, Sir John Franklin High School of Yellowknife won the overall and school grand aggregate awards, which makes that institution the the across the board champion of the meet. The overall grand aggregate score is calculated by taking the number of points earned by a team in the top-six finishes in each competition and dividing it by the number of athletes it brought to the event to come up with an average point total per athlete.

The school grand aggregate score is calculated by taking the total number of points earned by students at the school – minus the junior, senior and master divisions – and dividing that total among the number of students.

St. Patrick High School won the total overall points and total school points banners. The school points banner is calculated the same way the school grand aggregate score is done without the division. The total overall points banner is pretty self-explanatory.

The school's total of 683.37 points overall was one of the largest-ever point hauls and that wasn't lost on meet co-organizer Tim Borchuk.

“I can't remember ever reading out a number that big before,” he said.

In terms of the records, Haley Cassie of Norman Wells continued to rewrite the record books as she set new marks in the bantam girls 400-metre, 800-metre and 1,500-metre races. Chandelle Leonard of Hay River also set a record in the midget girls javelin.

Marlin Miersch-King of Fort Resolution also set a new record in the peewee boys shot put of 7.71 metres and there's a bit of a back-story to it.

Miersch-King had been training with his mother and coach, Brandie Miersch, before the meet began but was using a heavier shot than what was used in Hay River. He had been training with a 6 lb. shot, which was the old weight, while the one used at territorials was 2 kg (4.4 lbs).

“We ordered the shots and then we were told they changed the weights,” said Brandie Miersch. “We couldn't get the new ones in time so we practised with those ones.”
Her son was breaking the old record – 7.63 metres – in practice (he threw upwards of 8 ft., said his mom) and even broke the record with his practice throw before the event began in Hay River. He narrowly missed breaking the old record on his first official attempt by a single centimetre but he would not be denied on his second attempt.

Katrine Lavoie of Hay River lets fly with the shot during the master women's shot put on June 8.

“I was so excited I almost cried,” said Marlin about his record-breaking throw. “I ran to my mom and she was so happy.”

With the record in his pocket, Marlin went out to better it with his third and final throw but it wasn't meant to be.

“I think I rushed it a bit,” he said.

With the new weights being used in competition for the younger divisions, it got Brandie Miersch thinking: if the competition weight had been changed, did that mean the records could fall with the new weight?

She was told no and all of the records she set as a younger athlete with the old weight were now committed to the books.

“That's really cool knowing I have the records forever,” she said. “I asked the organizers if Marlin could try and break the record with the 6 lb. shot and they said he couldn't.”

The following are the top-three results in every single event:
