The Thompson Rivers Univer10 thsity WolfPack had a contingent of runners competing this weekend at the Gary Reed Invitational indoor track meet held at the Tournament Capital Centre.

Fellow WolfPack runner Calum Carrigan (Kamloops, BC) was third in a time of 2:42.98 while Reid Johnston (Abbotsford, BC) was sixth as he crossed the finish line in a time of 2:53.69
In the men's 3000 meter run,  Liam McGrath (Vernon, BC) was seventh in 9:43.90.

Kelsy Bentz won the men's 300 meter dash in 36.33.

McGrath, Riley Hall (Abbotsford, BC) and Johnston finished eighth, ninth and tenth respectively in the men's 1500 meter run.   McGrath had a time of 4:28.79, Hall finished in a time of 4:29.08 while Johnston crossed the finish line in 4:37.55

The Pack put a team together for the 4 x400 meters  consisting of Midgley, McGrath, Carrigan and Bentz to race against Trinity Western.  The combo set a new school record at 3:38.

In the men's 600 meter run, Midgley was second in 1:26.17.  The winner was Joel Perriard of Trinity Western in a time of 1:25.01." said head coach Carmin Mazzotta. " Great competition from Trinity Western, UBCO and UVIC.  Bentz winning his race against U SPORTS athletes by nearly a second and  half was a huge margin.  Richard's second place finish in the 1000 meter and 600 meters was great too. He is just running so well right now. His time in the 600 meters is second on the all time list at TRU. Calum coming back after being sick twice in January was a big accomplishment. Liam McGrath had huge PB's (personal best's) in the 3 thousand meters and in the 1500 meter.  He is trending in the right direction in his final year. All and all a great meet by our guys."
