The men’s 4 x 200m team finished second in a school record time of 1:37.36, one second behind winner SAIT Polytechnic..  In the 4 x 400m relay, the MHC men placed third in a season’s best time of 4:40.80, behind Red Deer Polytechnic and Lethbridge Polytechnic, respectively.

Individually, Daniel Friesen also claimed a podium placing, finishing second in the 300m with a school record and personal best time of 36.49.  Logan Pancoast ran two solid distance races, finishing 5^th in the 3000m with a new school record, and 7^th in the 1500m. Askia Tahrou also tallied a point in the standings with his 8^th place finish in the 600m.

The Rattlers women were led by Reyna Woodruff, who had two massive personal best times in both the 1500m and 3000m.  Woodruff placed 5^th in the 3000m and 6^th in the 1500m.  In addition, she ran legs on both MHC relay teams which finished 7^th in the 4 x200 and 7^th in the 4 x 400.  For her efforts, Woodruff was named the ACAC Indoor Track Female Rookie of the Year.
