Both athletes entered the CIS championship meet as Canada West champions.</p><p>&quot;It was a great weekend; everyone performed as expected and it&#39;s obviously great coming home with two national champions,&rdquo; says Horns head coach Larry Steinke. &ldquo;It&#39;s not only a nice way to cap the season, it sets the tone for next season as well.&quot;</p><p>For Millman, a third-year Truro, Nova Scotia product, the CIS title was sweet redemption. In the past two CIS meets he&#39;d failed to reach expectations and come up shy in his quest for the medal podium. He would not be denied in Windsor.<div class="image-caption-container right" style="width:500px;"><img src="/unews/sites/default/files/Millman-Gold.jpg" title="Peter Millman earned his first CIS shot put gold by the slimmest of margins." alt=""><div class="image-caption">Peter Millman earned his first CIS shot put gold by the slimmest of margins.</div></div></p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s extra special (this year) considering I did quite horrible, actually, the last two years,&quot; Millman told the Truro Daily News.</p><p>Millman had to come from behind to claim the shot put gold, using his fifth throw of the event to post a 17.18-metre distance, one centimetre ahead of Marc-Antoine Lafrenaye-Dugas of Sherbrooke 免费福利资源在线看片. The throw was also only five centimetres shy of the personal best he set only three weeks ago at the Canada West Championship. Millman then sat back and watched as Lafrenaye-Dugas attempted two more throws to get back into the gold position, but faulted on each attempt.</p><p>&ldquo;The fifth throw was awesome,&rdquo; Millman told the Daily News shortly after his win. &ldquo;I knew I had to go for it on that one, I couldn&rsquo;t play it safe anymore. It&rsquo;s just amazing right now.&rdquo;</p><p>Millman&#39;s teammate, Ryan Sommer, finished sixth with a throw of 15.54 metres.</p><p>Hernandez, the defending CIS Champion and reigning CIS rookie of the year, continued his dominance in the triple jump. His jump of 15.33 metres was an astounding 40 centimetres better than the rest of the field. During his six jump sequence, four of Hernandez&#39;s five recorded jumps would have been good enough for the gold medal victory.</p><p>With all three of their competing athletes scoring points, the Horns accumulated 26 total points, which was the third best among Canada West schools and the top among the three Alberta schools participating at the championships. It gave the men&#39;s team a 10th-place ranking nationally.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group-format group_related_topics field-group-div group-related-topics block-title-body speed-fast effect-none"><h2><span>Related Topics</span></h2><div class="field field-name-opencalais-organization-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Organization:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/organization/pronghorns" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Pronghorns</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/organization/cis" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">CIS</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-person-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Person:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/person/peter-millman" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Peter Millman</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/person/larry-steinke" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Larry Steinke</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/person/aaron-hernandez" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Aaron Hernandez</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/person/ryan-sommer" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Ryan Sommer</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-sportsgame-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">SportsGame:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/sports-game/track" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">track</a></div></div></div></div><span property="rnews:name schema:name" content="Hernandez, Millman claim CIS track gold medals" class="rdf-meta"></span> Tue, 17 Mar 2015 22:14:20 +0000 trevor.kenney 7051 at /unews Veldman, Millman recognized with Pronghorn awards /unews/article/veldman-millman-recognized-pronghorn-awards <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even" property="rnews:articlebody schema:articleBody"> <p>A record-setting performance and a personal best that resulted in a gold medal earned Kim Veldman and Peter Millman nods as the Female and Male Subway Pronghorn Athletes of the Week this week.<div class="image-caption-container right" style="width:210px;"><img src="/unews/sites/default/files/Horns-logo_15.jpg" alt=""></div></p><p>After setting a new school record for career rebounds two weeks ago, Pronghorns women&#39;s basketball post Veldman continued her exceptional season by recording a pair of double-doubles in two losses to top teams in the Pacific Division.
