Combined with the Ontario Regional Age Class Short Track Championships during March 20 - 21, 2010; this masters competiton attracted 9 women and 21 men from clubs across the province including Clarington, Durham, Gloucester, Hamilton, Kawartha, Kingston, Kitchener-Waterloo, Newmarket, Niagara, Oakville, Ottawa, Quinte (Belleville), St. Lawrence (Brockville) and Toronto.
Women, of all ages, skated in a separate group while men were sub-divided into 2 groups combining competitors under and over 45 years. All participants raced distances for which provincial records are maintained including heats and finals in 500 m, 777 m and 1000 m plus a 1500 m final.
Sunday's racing concluded with a super drop-out final of 2000 m for women and 3000 m for men. Competitors, if lapped twice, were eliminated from the race. The first 2 laps of the men's race were led out by Newmarket Jet's (host club) President and master skater emeritus Don Ego.
Complete results were provided both by group and by 5 year age classifications. Ontario provincial medals were awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each age division for women and men. Handcrafted wood plaques, made by a local artist, were given to Becky Seames and Paul Pickard (both from Quinte) for their victories in the super final races.
Many thanks to the Newmarket Jets, Ontario Speed Skating and the dozens of volunteers from all clubs who organized and conducted this excellent event.
