Anieu Chan sets another record

The records keep piling up for Massey sprinter Anieu Chan. The grade 11 athlete ran away with the senior girls 800m at the SWOSSA Championships in a time of 2:10.41 seconds. She beat the old mark set in 2000 by Hilary Edmondson of Sarnia St. Christopher who timed in a 2:12.93 seconds.

"I started off a little bit strong. As the second lap set in, I kind of felt a little bit of fatigue from the 400m and 1500m yesterday, but I tried to keep pushing through and I'm satisfied with the results, and it felt really good to finish and do well today." Chan told Alex Whatmore of Powerplay Sports.

Chan won the 400m Tuesday in a time of 55.96 seconds which was just shy of the 2011 record of 55.82 set by Sarnia St. Clair's Brittany Lewis.

She set two records last week at the WECSSAA Championships in the 800m and 1,500m.

"My goal is just to improve a little bit more each time that I race, and hopefully set more records in the future with other meets to come up."
