The Windsor Lancers are pleased to announce that Sarah Mitton has been named the U SPORTS Outstanding Female Field Performer, as announced by the league at the awards brunch Thursday.

Entering the OUA Championships as the defending champ and No. 1 nationally ranked thrower in the shot-put event, Mitton beat out the competition on Day 1 by almost three meters, throwing an impressive 16.82m for her efforts, to not only set a new personal best but also set a new Lancer record. This was the second time the Brooklyn, Nova Scotia native broke the Lancer record in the event this year, after setting a new marker in her first meet of the year at Windsor's Blue & Gold meet.
She followed that up with a throw of 16.47m in the weight throw competition the very next morning, which was also helped her capture gold in that event and ranked her No. 2 in the national rankings.

"Sarah has been a key member in the success of our women's team this year through her leadership both at practice and outside," said Lancer head coach Colin Inglis. "Sarah's ability to be successful as a student-athlete is a reflection of her ability to be organized and her strong work ethic."
 
Congratulations Sarah!
