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."
