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.
