Pan Ams Final Day- Drouin 4th in heptathlon

Jillian Drouin ended the Pan Ams on a high note, both personally and for Sarnia Athletics Southwest, on the last day of the Pan Am Junior Track and Field Championships in Windsor.  Sitting in second after day one in the heptathlon standings, Jillian started day two with a personal best of 5.30 metres in the long jump; unfortunately many of her competition jumped even further to drop Jillian back in the hept standings.
  

Jillian turned in a personal best in the sixth and second last event of the competiton, the javelin, tossing the spear 32.45 metres. Jillian entered the final event of her gruelling two day event, the 800 metres, fourth in the over standings.  Two minutes and 43.73 seconds later, Jillian had maintained her fourth place finish.   

Jillian and her Sarnia Athletics Southwest coaches Bob Newman and Joel Skinner, in addition to her university coach, Enoch Borozinski, from Syracuse University, were very pleased to find out that Jillian had set a new personal best of 4811 points, bettering her former mark by close to 200 points.  Setting a personal best is always great but setting a best performance in a pressure-filled international competition like Jillian did is very significant! 

In total Jillian had personal bests in five out of seven events in her competition!!
Well done Jillian!!
