Mohamed Yassin of the track and field team opened up the 2012-13 season in style with two gold medals and one bronze at the Western Season Opener while achieving several personal best times.  Yassin ran three of his best 60 metre races topping his personal best twice en route to a bronze medal finish.  The second year runner then ran a stellar 200m dash to win the gold with a time of 23:10, placing him ninth all time in Waterloo’s top 10 list while edging out some quality Western runners.  To cap off his tremendous season debut, Yassin ran the fastest split time in the men’s 4x400m leading his team to gold.
