University of Toronto Athletics

Fourth-year veteran Alex Witmer finished second in the men’s high jump at the 2012 CIS track & field championships hosted by the Manitoba Bisons.

The Kitchener, Ont., native cleared 2.04m to earn the second-place finish. Witmer entered the competition at 2.01m and cleared that height on his third attempt.  He then hit 2.04m on his first try before ending the competition with three attempts at 2.07m.

MBNA believes that with personal drive and the right kind of support, someone who thrives on the playground can one day ascend the podium. MBNA is a long standing affinity partner of the University of Toronto, providing the U of T MasterCard® to over 50,000 students and alumni. Congratulations to the MBNA Athletes of the Week.
