Janine Polischuk led the way for the University of Regina’s track & field teams during Day 2 of the CIS Championships on Friday, scoring a silver medal in the long jump and a bronze in the 60-metre hurdles.

Polischuk, who was named the CIS Field Athlete of the Year for the second consecutive season on Saturday, started off the day with a record-breaking performance in the 60-metre hurdles. The fifth-year Cougar’s time of 8.62 seconds was good enough for a bronze medal and also broke the U of R’s record in the event. Polischuk also won a silver medal in the long jump with a leap of 5.71 metres.

Caitlin Fowler scored the only other team points of the day for the U of R’s women’s team, finishing in seventh place in the shot put with a toss of 12.49 metres to collect two points for the Cougars.

Justin Baker won the lone medal of the day for the men’s team, securing a bronze medal in the 60-metre hurdles with a time of 8.34 seconds to score six team points for the Cougars. Jeremy Eckert, who was named the CIS Male Rookie of the Year on Thursday, cleared the bar at 2.01 metres in the high jump to claim fourth place in the event and five team points.

Kelly Wiebe also scored a team point for the Cougars in the 3000-metre run, finishing in eighth place with a time of 8:47.76.

With one day left in the three-day competition, the U of R’s women’s team sits in eighth place with 25 points and the men’s team is in 11th place with 12 points.
