WINDSOR JUNCTION:<\/strong> It was a triple gold performance for a Windsor Junction pentathlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dalhousie Tiger track and field athlete Abbi Gaudry left a triumphant impression on the competition at the Atlantic University Sport (AUS) Track and Field championships in Moncton, earning three gold medals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gaudry, who had a back injury that prevented her from competing in pentathlon during her rookie year with the Tigers, was thrilled with her weekend showing. She\u2019s in her third year with Dal, where she is studying Kinesiology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThree golds was always my goal, but a lot had to go right,\u201d said Gaudry in an interview. \u201cI had some really good competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt was a well fought battle and I\u2019m happy my training paid off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n ADVERTISEMENT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate group=”8″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”169″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gaudry earned gold in the heptathlon and 60m hurdles, while setting a new record in the hurdles, before going to the top of the podium the next day, Saturday, in women\u2019s long jump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She was happy to have represented the Tigers colours with pride during her weekend accomplishments. The Tigers won the women\u2019s and men\u2019s track banners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy teammates all worked so hard to win the banner and I\u2019m proud to have been a part of it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gaudry spoke of the back issue in her first year which prevented her from competing in her sport she loves, pentathlon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis was pretty tough but ultimately made me push harder,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That extra push has paid off three-fold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis season has been a breath of fresh air as my back is manageable now and I could fully train properly,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s been really encouraging seeing that all the difficulties I dealt with paid off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSetting the AUS hurdle record was definitely a highlight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n ADVERTISEMENT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”37″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”192″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n She was asked now about going to U-Sport nationals and what her mindset might be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHeading into nationals the main focus will be to maintain and remain healthy,\u201d said Gaudry, adding that\u2019s one of the biggest challenges doing a pentathlon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy goals are to build off my Personal Bests set this weekend and challenge myself against the rest of the girls in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt will be super fun! Hopeful I can get some new personal bests.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The three-gold medal performance punches her ticket to U Sport Nationals from March 7-9 in Winnipeg, Mb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”190″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”115″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [adrotate banner=”78″] [adrotate banner=”111″] MAIN PHOTO: Abbi Gaudry was at the top of the AUS track & field championship podium three times over the weekend.
