Chantel Pilon of the track and field team had a successful season debut at the opening event hosted by the Western Mustangs.  Pilon set a new personal best in the women’s shot put with a throw of 11.44 metres, 1cm shy of a bronze medal giving her a fourth place finish behind a former CIS champion.  The fourth year track athlete also ran a tremendous opening leg of the women’s 4x400m race which saw the Warriors capture bronze in.  Capping off her strong opening meet, Pilon placed 10^th in the 60m hurdles and seventh in the long jump.
