Leduc, Asemota claim 100-metre Canadian championship track titles

By Canadian Press on August 1, 2025.

OTTAWA — Sprinter Audrey Leduc of Gatineau, Que., won the senior women’s 100-metres championship on Friday night, clocking 11.06 to top the eight-runner final at the Canadian track and field championships in Ottawa.

The 26-year-old Leduc, who holds the Canadian records in the 100-metres (10.95) and 200 metres (22.36) — both set in 2024 — finished just ahead of Olympian Sade McCreath (11.09) of Ajax, Ont., and Jacqueline Madogo (11.21) of Ottawa, who became the 200-metres national champion in 2023.

Olympian sprinter Duan Asemota of Montreal won the men’s 100-metre championship in a 10.12 photo finish, just edging out Aaron Brown (10.13) of Toronto, who was part of Canada’s 4×100-metre relay team that won gold in 2024. Eliezer Adjibi (10.21) of Ottawa finished third.

Canadian sprint star Andre De Grasse did not compete due to a sore hamstring.
