Twenty-five Université de Moncton Athletes at Track and Field Championships

The Atlantic University Sport track and field championships will attract more than 210 athletes from nine universities (Acadia, Dalhousie, Memorial, St. Francis Xavier, Saint Mary’s, St. Thomas, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Moncton universities) on Friday and Saturday at the Stade Vance-Toner of the CEPS Louis-J.-Robichaud on the Moncton campus.

The Université de Moncton will be represented by 25 athletes. Coach Steve LeBlanc is looking forward to seeing a few of his athletes on the podium. “Our objective is to win at least 12 medals,” LeBlanc said. “I am looking for a third and fourth spot in final women and men standings, respectively.
