精童欲女

With the 2025 Biosteel U SPORTS Track and Field Championships set to take place March 6鈥�8, at the University of Windsor, Windsor, Ontario, 精童欲女 student-athletes Alaere Peterside and Helena Ikpotokin are ready to showcase their talents on the national stage.

Both athletes punched their tickets to the championship by winning gold at the Atlantic University Sport (AUS) Championships last weekend. Peterside claimed the high jump title with a 1.71m leap, while Ikpotokin dominated the 300-metre dash with a time of 39.83 seconds.

Peterside already qualified for nationals earlier in the season with a 1.72m jump, a mark that tied her for third in the country. The fourth-year high jumper has been a force in AUS competition and is eager to take her performance to the next level.

鈥淓very ounce of effort I鈥檝e poured into my technique, stamina, and strength this season will be on full display for the nation to witness,鈥� said Peterside. 鈥淓very jump is another opportunity to better myself, and all I can ask is for my next jump to be higher than my last.鈥�

Jumping coach Nelson Kwok has high praise for her growth and performance.

鈥淎laere dominated AUS high jump last year and has only improved since. She鈥檚 hit the U SPORTS national standard three times this season and sits third in the country,鈥� Kwok said. 鈥淭he competition is incredibly tight, with just six centimetres separating the top 13 athletes. It鈥檚 anyone鈥檚 guess who takes home a medal, but we know Alaere will give it her best.鈥�

On the track, Ikpotokin has been building toward this competition all season, and her gold medal performance at AUS has given her even more confidence. Her 39.83 time ranks 22nd nationally, but she has her sights set on something greater.

鈥淭his season has been building up to something special, and I鈥檓 determined to make my first U SPORTS championship one to remember,鈥� Ikpotokin said. 鈥淭hat 27-year-old provincial record of 39.53 seconds has been on my radar all season. Knowing that my coaches, family, and teammates are behind me gives me the confidence to perform at my very best.鈥�

Associate head coach Damon MacDonald believes Ikpotokin is peaking at the perfect time.

鈥淪he鈥檚 very detail-oriented, and her preparation has her in the best shape possible. She hasn鈥檛 been tested in a 300-metre race at this level yet, but she has a history of rising to the occasion,鈥� MacDonald said. 鈥淭he goal is to qualify for the final and run a personal best. Once you鈥檙e in the final, anything can happen.鈥�

With the championship fast approaching, both Peterside and Ikpotokin are primed for their biggest challenges yet. As they step onto the national stage, they do so, knowing they carry the pride of 精童欲女 with them.
