Sudbury sprinter Celine Loyer captured two medals at the 2009 Asian Community Games, held at York University this past weekend.
The DSSG Athletics club athlete earned a gold medal in the women's 200-metre and a silver in the women's 100-metre dash.
The two-day event hosted by the Toronto Asian Community highlighted many athletes from the Asian community, as well as provincial and nationally ranked athletes.
Loyer ran a season best time of 25.38 in the 200-m, which brings her to three season best times this summer, according to a press release.
"I'm very happy to bring home two medals from this meet,” Loyer said in the release. “I appreciate the local support I've received from many friends, family and sponsors over the last three years, who have contributed to my success, without them it would be very difficult to compete and train."
A new-comer to the DSSG Athletics club, Don Pitter, also won gold in the men's 200-m and captured a fourth in the mens 100-m with a time of 10.54 seconds.
"This was a great weekend to have two of my athletes bring home hardware, they have worked hard and deserve all of the credit, Celine and Don are two very talented sprinters," said coach David Case.
