West Ferris sprinter Adam Newton captured top spot in the Senior Boy's 100 metre sprint final with an impressive time of 10.6 at the annual NDA track meet taking place at Cundari field.

The high profile event ended up being a Trojan sweep, as Dan Weber and Logan Butler finished second and third respectively, with times of 11.7.

Newton, who ran an unofficial 10.37 on the same track at the Twilight track meet, believes a cross wind may have slowed him down.

"The first 20 (metres) I was really slow and I thought I should have been further ahead," said Newton resting in his tent after the race.

"I'm happy with the time, but I could have been faster," added Newton, who will be heading to Sault Ste. Marie next week in hopes of defending his NOSSA title.

The speedy teen didn't stop there. Later in the afternoon Newton broke his own record in the 200 metre race with an impressive time of 21.5 seconds.

At the end of Thursday's meet Newton teamed up with three West Ferris athletes known more for their speed on skates to break another NDA record in the Senior Boys 4 X 100 metre final.

Ken Peroff, drafted by the OHL's Brampton Battalion this summer, Trojans speedy forward Dan Weber, and North Bay Trappers Captain Josh Ranger teamed up with anchorman Adam Newton to break the 21 year old record held by Chippewa with an unofficial time of 44.6 seconds.

"I really got into it with these boys and we set a goal for ourselves and today we accomplished it," said rookie sprinter Dan Weber.
