But Renford hasn t competed in more than a year.
When COVID-19 brought sports around the world to a standstill in March 2020, it didn t spare high school. Gyms locked their doors. Kids were sent home to attend classes on Zoom. Weeks with no sports turned into months and eventually a lost year with an impact few could have imagined. I feel so badly for them, said Renford s coach Tony Sharpe. So many dreams that, maybe not completely gone by the wayside, but have been delayed.
Renford won the midget boys 100 and 200 metres and long jump at OFSAA Ontario s prestigious high school championships in Grade 9, setting provincial records in the 200 and long jump, marks that still stand. A student at Tommy Douglas Secondary School in Vaughan, Ont., Renford followed it up with victories in the 100 and 200, and a silver in long jump, in Grade 10.

York police have laid charges against a 17-year-old male for several “swatting” incidents in Vaughan including one where the 9-1-1 caller allegedly threatened to shoot at officers.
