VICTORIA -- Sprinter Nicolas Macrozonaris became the first man in 16 years to win both the 100 and 200 metres at the same Canadian track and field championships yesterday. Macrozonaris of Laval, Que., won the 200 metres in a personal best time of 20.85 seconds. He won Saturday's 100 in 10.13 seconds, his second-best time at that distance.

"It means a lot to me," said Macrozonaris, 22. "It's a huge deal. I've probably done only eight 200 metres in my life. Coming in here, what else can you ask for?"

Only six Canadians have won both races at the national championships.

Ben Johnson did in it 1987 and Desai Williams 1983. Charlie Francis, who later would become involved in the drug scandal that stripped Johnson of his Olympic medal, did it in 1970 and 1971. Harry Jerome won both races in 1960 and Percy Williams in 1928.

Also yesterday, Courtney Babcock of Chatham was third in the women's 1,500 metres in 4:13.59. Carmen Douma of Cambridge won in 4:12.20.

On Saturday, London native Jessica Zelinka placed third in the heptathlon with 5,716 points. Nicole Haynes of Toronto won with 5,894.
