Manitoba's Madisson Lawrence breaks 33-year-old record in women's heptathlon at Canada Summer Games

Manitoba's Madisson Lawrence beat a 33-year-old heptathlon points record en route to a gold medal at the Canada Summer Games on Saturday in Thorold, Ont.

The 23-year-old from Winnipeg scored 5,655 points over seven events to best Stephanie Bond's previous mark by 222 points. Lawrence also won long-jump silver behind Shadd-Ceres.

Men's hurdles winner Craig Thorne of New Brunswick and runner-up David Adeleye of Ontario both went under the Games record of 14.09 seconds with Thorne setting a new mark of 13.83 seconds.

Alberta middle-distance runner Eric Lutz collected his second gold medal of the Games in as many days. He closed the gap on competitors with less than a lap to go to take the men's 800 metres after winning Friday's 1,500.
