Of course, given what he ac- complished in the track and field season, you can see why his fourth-place finish at the provin-fourth-place finish at the provin-f cial high school cross-country meet might not have quite mea- sured up in his eyes. Still, cross country did convince Flemington to switch from the 400 metre race to the 1,500 metres. "I gained a lot more confidence in that race, and it helped me with my endurance," he said. "And mentally, the 1,500-metre makes the 800-metre easier." The Grade 9 Appleby College student made both look pretty easy at the OFSAA track and field championships. Flemington won the 1,500-metre, which he hadn't run, until this spring, by more than eight seconds. He finished in four minutes, 6.56 seconds, wellfour minutes, 6.56 seconds, wellf ahead of Earl Haig Secondary's Christian Barida (4:14.99). The following day, Flemington added a second gold medal in the 800-metre, finishing in 1:56.17, to win by 2½ seconds. Flemington didn't waste any time showing his potential at Ap- pleby. Each fall, the school holds a 20-kilometre walkathon. Despite its name, there is a competitive race element to it. Though it's usu- ally dominated by senior stu- dents, Flemington won by more than eight minutes, finishing the course in 1:16.32. "To win that as a Grade 9 stu- dent, that was awesome," said Ap- pleby track and field coach Kim English. "Then, to convert that in- to the 800-metre and 1,500-metre and go out and kill it - he's an im- pressive runner." Fellow track coach Natasha Mosdossy said that potential con- tinued to show through the cross- country season where Fleming- ton finished first or second in all of his races leading into OFSAA. "He puts in a lot of effort," she said. "He's very goal-oriented. If he's not here, he's training at home or with his club." Flemington, who plays with the Oakville Rangers minor midg- et AA team, began running to train for hockey. But he enjoyed it and realized he had a knack for it, so he joined the Oakville Legion Track and Field Club in Grade 6. "It's really helped me develop my technique and my knowledge of how to run races," he said. Last summer he won the 800- metre at the Athletics Ontario championships. This spring, he set meet records in both events, in qualifying for the provincial high school championships. At OFSAA, Flemington "tried to hang back and use other guys to my advantage to set the pace." But by the 200-metre mark, he decided to it was time for him to set the pace. He took the lead and wasn't challenged again. Appleby's Ibrahim Ayorinde also earned a medal - the fourth of his high school career. He took the bronze in the senior boys 100-me- tre. His time of 10.75 was just .04 off the silver medal time. He also teamed up with Habeeb Olorode, Tami Otubaga and Kel- vin Okoakih, for a fourth-place finish in the senior boys 4x100-me-finish in the senior boys 4x100-me-f tre relay. St. Thomas Aquinas also had a pair of top-five finishes at the OF- SAA meet. Marcus Nandlal was fourth in the senior boys 400- me-fourth in the senior boys 400- me-f tre hurdles, and Dylan Ferri was fifth in the midget boys 1,500-me-fifth in the midget boys 1,500-me-f tre race.
