‘Phone booth’ helps track prodigy focus
Known as “Blitz” when he’s burning up the track, Bolade Ajomale has run ragged over his high school’s record books and is aiming to race his way to OFSAA titles this summer.The Grade 11 student at Alexander Mackenzie High School is the holder of 10 school track records, including three as a long jumper and is only scratching the surface of his potential, according to coach Gary Freedman.

Mr. Freedman has coached track at Alex Mackenzie for 23 years and said Ajomale is one of, if not the best, track athlete he’s coached.“He’s very eager to learn, very humble. He runs to the gun and as he soaks in technique and strategy to complement his natural ability, he will only get stronger,” said Mr. Freedman.
