Club Records Falling As Athletes Make Up For Lost Time

With the recent changes to Covid restrictions on sports, the track community is seeing a return to normal for competitions in the Lower Mainland.

On June 30, the Mustangs hosted their 6th track meet in two months and it was a special occasion as the first opportunity to invite athletes from other clubs to compete. The response was big with over 40 high school and post-secondary athletes from numerous clubs attending the meet.  Coach Lenton was happy with the response from other clubs and with his athletes’ performances: “We have seen a steady improvement in our athletes’ competition level, numerous club records being set in all age groups, and first-year athletes successfully navigating the steep learning curve of competition after so many months of just training.”
