as winning three other medals in her career. In 1978, Laubach's OFSAA gold medal in the shot put became the school's last provincial title in a field event until 2018. 1980's The John F. Ross track and field team continued to thrive off their momentum throughout the early 1980s. As the team saw the last of the 1970s champions graduate, new athletes were showing promising talent, especially in the sprints. In 1980 the team achieved its first ever OFSAA gold medal in a relay event. The women's 4 × 400 m title was won in a time of 3:57.2, the school's third fastest time to this day. In the following year at the 1981 OFSAA championships the girls defended their title with the same four runners. Their finishing time of 3:56.04 became a school record that still stands as of 2019. 1990's In the 1990s two distance runners took a shot at the record board. The first to come was D. Graham who twice won the OFSAA bronze medal in the midget and junior 3000m. Graham currently owns the school record in the 3000m in all three age categories. In 1996 a newcomer to the team named C. Briante won John F. Ross' first OFSAA title since the women's 4 × 400 m gold in 1981. Her OFSAA winning 1500m time of 4:46.43 was held as the school record for 11 years until June 2017. Briante went on to take the junior records for the 1500m and 3000m which remain unbeaten. 2000's At the turn of the new millennium the Ross Royals saw another resurgence of major success in the form of freshman sprinter, Emily Johnson. In 2002 Johnson proved to be the strongest sprinter in Ross' history setting midget girls' school records in the 100m and 200m. She then went on to win the 200m title in and broke the OFSAA record with a time of 24.42 which stood for 8 years. In Johnson's junior season she achieved the coveted 100m/200m double OFSAA gold. In 2004 Johnson won a bronze medal in the senior 200m and newcomer Guyson Kuruneri sets school records in the senior men's 100m, 200m, and long jump. Following his high school career, Kuruneri competed for the Guelph Gryphons where he later became the head jumps coach for the university's 36 time national championship winning team. 2010-present The new decade began with an OFSAA bronze medal
