Austin Ingram, Men’s T13 100 meter Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, Petawawa Proud!

Austin Ingram was born in 2002 and raised in Petawawa. He is only 19 years old now and began his running career back in grade eight where he broke the Renfrew County elementary school records in the 100m and 200m sprints before making his mark at the provincial level with Valour Secondary School in Petawawa. He won 3 gold medals in the Boy’s visually impaired 100m at the OFSAA Track and Field Championships in 2017, 2018 and 2019 and still holds the OFSAA record in the visually impaired 100m with a time of 11.26 seconds. He has been training for the last 5 years with Les Coureurs de Bois Running Club in Petawawa under coach Julie Crouzat.

In 2018, he broke the Canadian T13 200m national record in July at the age of 16 and then won a gold medal in the T13 100m at the 2019 Grand Prix in Paris, France. He still holds both the 100 and 200 Canadian national marks at the present time with a time of 10.99 sec. in the 100m and a time of 22.64 sec. in the 200m and is also ranked in the top-10 in the world for the T13 100m.

He displayed his sprinting talent at the 2019 Para Athletics World Championships in Dubai. He brought his 100m record down to 10.99 seconds and clocked a fourth-place finish, just 0.01 seconds from the bronze medal.

Austin is travelling to Vancouver on Saturday August 14th then on to Gifu, Japan on August 16th for Paralympic training camp. Austin will compete in the T13 100m heats and finals at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games on Sunday, August 29th against the best in the world.

Good luck Austin!
