Derek Drouin of Sarnia, Ontario produced a new Canadian Junior Record in the high jump as he won the gold medal at the Pan American Junior Championships in Port of Spain, Trinidad today. He broke the mark of Alain Mettelus of Montreal of 2.26m set 26 years ago in 1983. The Indiana University sophmore’s mark of 2.27 metres is one centimetre from the leading mark in the world for athletes under the age of 20 years. James White of the US leads the world with 2.28m. Derek’s best high jump mark had been 2.22m before today.
