Wolfpack performs well in first cross-country Invitational
KAMLOOPS, BC—The head coach of the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack cross country team is calling their first ever “Invitational Race” a big success. Carmin Mazzotta felt that the conditions, the track and the competition was a good first start to what he hopes is an annual event.
“The course was incredible. I need to have discussions on making this an annual thing and utilizing this course. We appreciate the lease holder Bill Bilton for allowing us to use this for the race. And thanks to the City as well. We could hold championships here. We have been getting great reviews from the athletes.”
Racers from his team, the University of British Columbia Okanagan and a number of local high schools competed in a 5 kilometer (women) and 6 kilometer (men) race. It was held on the McArthur Island Golf Course-which has been closed this year due to flooding earlier this spring.
There were 21 women and 26 men competing in the high school and university category.
