After finishing fourth at the provincial championships in Pickering, the Hawks thought their hopes of a national title were dashed, but because one of the teams that placed ahead of them was unable to attend the Jamboree, the Hal- ton squad gladly took the open spot, rolling into the tourna- ment held in Dorval, Que. in style, arriving in a pair of stretch Lincoln Navigators. The Hawks went 3-2 in the preliminary round and gained confidence after losing their first weekend playoff game, defeating Quebec's Laval Ex- treme 9-8 and Whitby 5-1 to get into the Plate Division championship Sunday after- noon. Head coach Casey Her- manus's side came out slug- ging against the London Light- ning, scoring nine runs in the first inning to take control. The Lightning chipped away at the lead, but pitcher Dawn Bodrug, who threw three scoreless innings to start the contest, finished it off by shutting down London in the seventh and final at-bat to clinch the 10-7 victory. • See photo page 26 Fill-in Hawks capture novice gold National team member Cris- ty Nurse of Georgetown was a double gold medalist at the recent Royal Canadian Henley Regatta in St. Catharines, fin- ishing first in the women's pairs and eights events as a member of the Rowing Canada team. The 26-year-old University of Ottawa law school graduate hadn't competed in the presti- gious event since 2010, having also earned gold on women's eights entries in 2008 and 2009. In this year's event, Nurse teamed with Natalie Mas- tracci of Thorold to win the pairs' race by 19 seconds over a South Niagara Rowing Club boat in 7:19.98. She was also a member of the women's eights squad that nosed out the Phil- adelphia-based Vesper Boat Club crew by nearly two sec- onds with a finishing time of 5:59.41. This week Nurse is in South Korea competing for Canada at the World Rowing Champion- ships. Nurse strikes gold twice
