The UBC Pre-Jerome was a success once again. The club's performances were Heather Slinn in the 800 m, going 2:14.37, Nigel Hole's 800 m PB of 1:50.81, Shane Carlos running 1:55.94 in the 800 m, Kirsten Lee's 1,500 m PB, 5:04.36, and Carey Nelson breaking 4:20 in the 1,500 m, clocking 4:19.79.

We were also happy to organzie a last-minute beer garden. Thanks to Ryan Huff for putting in so much time and effort to make this happen.
