UPDATE - O’Neill Among Top 10 Canadian Hurdlers at Nationals
Wilson O’Neill ran his second ever 110m Hurdle race at the National Youth Track & Field Championships in Brandon, Manitoba last Friday. During track season this year he ran 100m Hurdles, so had to adjust to the different spacing for this race. Although he ran a huge personal best (PB) to finish 10th in Canada and 3rd among his age group as the other boys were a year older, he just missed qualifying for the finals by a few hundredths of a second.
Then on Sunday, Wilson ran the 400m Hurdles, which again was only his third time running this distance. The hurdle height was lower than the race at Junior Nationals, and he had only two weeks to make the adjustment. He ran a great race and once again achieved a PB, finishing 9th overall, with only one athlete his age ahead of him in the final rankings. Wilson was excited about his performance and placing as he realized he is among the top 10 hurdlers in Canada.
