Speed River Inferno Set To Explode On SaturdayPublished by
The second installment of the Speed River Inferno will look to build on the excitement and energy of the first. This year’s competition will follow a structure similar to many European meets with a pre-program section of races and then a main program of 45 minutes of action packed high caliber races. The highlight of the night promises to be the men’s 2000 metres where Taylor Milne fresh off his outstanding performance at the Oxy High Performance meet will look to break Steve Agar’s Canadian Record of 5 minutes 03.57 seconds. Milne electrified the hometown crowd last year by becoming the first athlete to ever break the four minute mile in Wellington County. Joining Milne in the 2000 will be Reid Coolsaet, who currently sits fifth on the all-time list with a best performance of 5 minutes 5.66 seconds. Also looking to write his name in the record books in Ross Proudfoot who will be chasing the Canadian Junior Record of 5 minutes 19.9 seconds held by Rob Lonergan.
