By Devin Rajala
With clear skies and double-digit temperatures in the weekend forecast, the 2012 UBC Open is shaping up to be the best in its short history. The meet will bring together top athletes from UBC, SFU, Point Grey TFC, Edmonton Thunder TFC, and many of the best high school athletes from around the Lower Mainland.
The meet takes place this Saturday at the Rashpal Dhillon UBC Track & Field Oval, on the corner of 16th Ave and Wesbrook Mall on the UBC campus. Events kick-off at 1:45 pm with the 4x100 relay and will span into the afternoon with the last event at 4:20 pm.
LEGACY
The Rashpal Dhillon UBC Track & Field Oval at Thunderbird Park, which opened in 2009, serves as a community legacy, particularly for the UBC Track & Field team. The state-of-the-art facility allows the Thunderbirds to host meets like the UBC Open – providing good competition at home without having to incur the expenses of travelling to meets. This year the meet has attracted over 200 entrants, a record for the UBC Open and will set the stage for highly competitive races.
