Fifth-year veteran Ezana Debalkew capped off his Varsity Blues career by winning the national men’s weight throw gold medal at the 2019 U SPORTS track and field championships this past weekend in Winnipeg.

After earning the national bronze medal last season, the computer science major from Markham, Ont., bettered his own U of T record, throwing 18.83m on his third throw, to secure the gold-medal finish.

The two-time OUA champion in the event also earned his first career U SPORTS all-Canadian nod.
