It’s a good thing St. Thomas More Collegiate’s Michelle Dadson doesn’t get too attached to her personal bests.
The Burnaby teen continued her stellar summer by ripping up two more personal best (PB) marks, this time at last week’s Legion National Youth track and field championships in Brandon, Man.
Dadson, who trains with the Vancouver Thunderbirds club, recorded a gold medal performance in the midget division discus event with a PB – 35.18 metres – for the second time this summer. She also collected silver in the shotput, with a distance of 12.76m, and wrapped up the national championship weekend with a PB and a silver in the hammer throw, cracking 45.41m.
The 14-year-old bested her previous best distance, set last month.
