Strong debut In just her first year of competitive track and field, Georgetown's Kassidy Veenstra has made an impressive mark in the provincial record books in the atom girls' javelin category. Veenstra, 11, recorded a throw measuring 23.9 metres at a meet in Guelph recently, shattering the previous best distance record of 16.5m for that age group. The Grade 6 Centennial Middle School student then bettered her former OTFA record set in Guelph, launching the javelin 24.41m at a competition at York University. A member of the Bramalea Bullets' club team, Veenstra also achieved gold standards for the discus, shot put, 80m hurdles and 100m dash. She is pictured here with the gold medal she earned in the shot put and bronze for the 200m hurdles at the recent Markham Invitational Submitted photo meet. Lapointe finishes fourth at amateur Mary Ann Lapointe of Georgetown placed fourth at the Golf Association of Ontario's women's amateur tournament last week in St. Catharines, earning the final berth on the inter-provincial team that will compete in the national championships in New Brunswick later this summer. The North Halton Golf & Country Club member needed six extra playoff holes on Friday to defeat Rebecca LeeBentham for the fourth spot on the Ontario team. Lapointe recorded rounds of 73-74-72 to finish a threeover-par for the tourney, six shots back of winner Ashley Sholer from Hamilton. ··· In the GAO's men's mid-amateur championship tournament held at the Rosedale Golf Club in Toronto last week, 2005 champion Bill Swartz of Georgetown shot an opening-round 80 and ended up tied for 42nd at the completion of the 54-hole event at 16 over par, 17 shots back of winner Peter McCarthy of the host club.
