Brockerville Heading Home
Ryan Brockerville of Marystown ended his first year at Simon Fraser University in fine style at the Ken Shannon Invitational Track Meet in Seattle, Washington.
The early season performances of the eighteen year-old have included a provincial junior record in the 3000 metre steeplechase and an outstanding time in the 800 metres. He again demonstrated his superb form this weekend at the University of Washington track with a fine personal best of 4 minutes 4.26 seconds in the 1500 metres for an eleventh place finish.
Brockerville will return to Newfoundland for the summer break this week.
