Race Recap: CIS Championships

Last weekend marked the end of the indoor track season, as the CIS Championships were held at the St. Denis Centre at the University of Windsor. Jeff Tweedle was the lone Marauder competing, in the men's 1000m. Jeff finished 10th in a time of 2:30.50. Racing at CIS was the finale to Jeff's very impressive season which saw him break a 29 year old school record and run the 6th fastest time in the CIS at the Boston Valentine Invite.
