Erin Stewart won gold, Amanda Tickner claimed silver and Hazel Garde took bronze as Oakville swept the top three placings, highlighting the club's strong showing at the meet. Garde attained provincial and Ontario Cup qualifying times in her bronze-medal skate. Jeremy Lin broke the 50-second mark in the 500-metre race, posting a time of 49.82 seconds, to win bronze in juvenile men's action. Club skaters enjoyed ice cream cake at the following practice, an Oakville Speedskating Club tradition when a member posts his or her first time below the 50- or 60-second mark. Other notable results at the meet included Joshua Whibbs' bronze medal in peewee boys' 333m competition, a race in which he also secured an Ontario Cup time. Ben Hiedecker and Zachary Lin each had a fourth-place effort, while Graeme Stewart finished fifth in a race. Patrick Duffy trimmed two seconds off his 1,000m time to qualify for the USA America Cup races later this season. The first race of that series will take place later this month in Michigan, where Duffy will face some of the finest American skaters. Oakville sent 37 skaters to the first one-day ability meet of the season, held in London, and nine returned home with medals. Gold-medal winners included Scott MacHattie and Evan MacHattie, while Michael Kalman, Quinn MacHattie, Ryan McAnuff, Michael Sullivan and Stewart earned silver medals.
