Despues de mas de 100 saltos, Brian dijo “A-Line es una increible pista para disfrutar, pero cuando llega a competir en ella, necesitas estar “filoso”…es una pista tecnica y con el nivel de corredores que habian, cualquier error cuenta”
En la rama femenina, la local Rebecca McQueen se dejo el primer lugar con 4:51.05; otra canadiense Micayla Gatto se dejo el segundo con 4:51.82 y Stephanie Nychka se dejo el tercer lugar con 4:53.59.
De acuerdo a Rebecca, “es una pista muy divertida y simplemente le “puse”…creo que la lluvia que cayo en dias anteriores le ayudo mucho..”
