University of Toronto Athletics

Third-year runner Tamara Jewett met the CIS standard en route to a first-place finish in the women’s 1500-metre race at the 17th annual McGill Team Challenge on Saturday in Montreal.

The Toronto native crossed the finish line in 4:30.18, ahead of McMaster’s Katie Anderson (4:30.91) and Lindsay Carson (4:31.97).

A fourth-year history and literary studies, Jewett’s time was on par with a podium finish at last year’s national championship. 

MBNA believes that with personal drive and the right kind of support, someone who thrives on the playground can one day ascend the podium.
