Michael LeBlanc

LightWalk · Jan 29, 2007

Found this guy on Track Shark this morning. He's a Canadian Sophomore at Syracuse University and he just won the Penn State National Open 60m. He ran 6.67, 6.71, and 6.68.

Canada (the Great White North) is really showing us some sprinting power.
Already this year LeBlanc has run 6.67, Macrozonaris 6.62, and Connaughton 6.76.
It would be great if they all made Canada's relay team along with David Pedneault.Edited by: jacknyc

Michael was the fastest qualifier in the prelims at the Big East Championships today.
His time was 6.71.
Finals are tomorrow.

Turns out that Michael's 6.71 yesterday was a meet record!
Unfortunately he was way off his best in the finals -6.90 - for 5th place.
Don't know what happened, but obviously he is capable of a lot better...and he's only a freshman.

I thought he was a sophomore? either ways he is running some nice times.

LightWalk · Feb 20, 2007

I was Googling this guy and he has a blog!

http://orangemike.ca/

He gives a pretty good account of what happened there.

My friend from Louisville said that Mike coasted to 6.71 in the semi-final, and even got a bad start! Anyway, the story I got was that during the whole meet there were problems with the starter and Mike suffered under him.

I'm surprised he decided to run IC4A's which is so close to nationals.

that's a great find, LightWalk!

i read a bit of his blog, and it was very well written. does anyone here think the same kind of articulate communication would come from many of his darker sprinting peers? i certainly don't. it looks like Mike is a true scholar-athlete.

congratulations, Mike! and keep up the great work!

LeBlanc won the 55m dash last weekend at the 2007 IC4A Indoor Track & Field Championship in Boston running the race in 6.21 seconds. This time broke the old meet record of 6.22 which dated back to 1986. His web site now has videos of his races.

I seriously doubt Canada will have an all or mostly white relay team. Certainly not because of talent or sprint times but because we too have become insufferably plagued by this incestant demand for multicultural everything. The foreigners have become so emboldened they would not hesitate to cry racism!

Maple Leaf · Mar 7, 2007

I would say that the slight resurgeance of white sprinters in Canada is due mostly to Macrozanaris' success, obviously not due to Donovan Bailey nor Ben Johnson.

Guest · Mar 10, 2007

He updated his blog to include his experience at the NCAA Indoor Championships yesterday. He was disappointed with his13th place finish.His 6.70 would have smoked the Big East Championship field by .11. Finals are today. Outdoors start at the month's end.

He should be proud as that is a very good time for a freshman.This kid could be special in another couple of years if he continues to progress.

White Lightning · Apr 23, 2007

Michael opened his outdoor season with a win last weekend.He ran a time of 10.54 for the 100 meters into a negative 1.4 wind!He is a sophmore like Mike Myer and I can see him getting alot faster as his progresses.He has a very powerful build and with his better starts,his times should drop quickly.Remember he ran a 6.67 and a 6.70 in the 60 this indoor season so his outdoor times should jump up quite a bit.Let's keep an eye on this kid.Edited by: white lightning

Mike is the top qualifier in the college 100m at the Penn Relays, with 10.40. He runs finals tomorrow.

white is right · Apr 27, 2007

With that time alone he is already in the relay pool for the Canadian team. He even has a good shot at making the team outright as about 10.2X or low 10.3X should be able to be in the top 3.

LeBlanc took 4th in the college men's 100m final at the Penn Relays with a time of 10.54. The winning time was 10.40.

Aren't you Michael? If so, congrats on winning the Big EastChampionship 100M final with another 10.40!

Arrowhead · May 7, 2007

Nope. Just an SU alum.

White Lightning · May 12, 2007

This kid could be really special in the next couple of years.For him to win the Big East Championships in the 100 as a sophmore shows poise beyond his years.He thrives on the big races.I would like to see him improve his 200 meters though as it can help his speed endurance.I can see him getting in to the 10.2 - 10.3 range on a consistant basis next year.Keep it up Michael.

white is right · May 12, 2007

Does he get an automatic invitation to the NCAA championship? I know for some smaller conferences they have to go to sectionals to qualify.....

White Lightning · May 13, 2007

Yes he does according to the Syracuse Athletics Website.We need one of these kids to take it to the next level.Dusty Stamer,Tom Green,Matt Bruno,and many others have shown potential but never taken it the next level.I believe this kid can be even better than any of those guys and he could end up being faster than John Woods.I just like what I see so far.

Arrowhead · May 25, 2007

Michael just won his 100m heat in the NCAA East Regional Championships, beating big names Willie Perry and Jacoby Ford in the process. He runs finals tomorrow.

What a great time for LeBlanc.Damn it sucks that the wind was just barely over the legal 2.0 mph!Oh well,it is still a big win for his confidence.I just hope he saved some in the tank for tommorow in the finals.

Mike Myer also qualified in the Midwest in a time of 10.47 wind legal.He was coasting i.m.o. He is saving himself for a big run tommorow.I would like to see him get in the top 3 or 4 guys.Both these kids are only sophmores.The future looks bright.

We shall see how Domenik Peterson and a few others do later on tonight.
