Canadian Records fall – Aaron Brown of Toronto, Ont., Jessica Furlan of Regina, Sask., and Brianne Theisen-Eaton from Humboldt, Sask., all set new Canadian all-time bests in a span of just over 12 hours.<\/p>\n

Aaron Brown of Toronto, Ont., set a new Canadian record of 20.16 (+0.5) in the men’s 200-metres at the NCAA West Regional Championships in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Brown, who competes for the USC Trojans, said on Twitter, “Appreciate all the love! Came out healthy and it’s all coming together at the right time. On to Eugene (2014 NCAA Championships) for my final collegiate meet.” Until yesterday Atlee Mahorn owned the best Canadian mark in the 200-metres of 20.17 set in 1991.<\/p>\n

Jessica Furlan of Regina, Sask., set a new Canadian record of 9:48.89 in the women’s 3000-metres steeplechase at the Speed River Inferno in Guelph, Ont. Furlan’s time improved Carol Henry’s previous national best of 9:51.10 set in 2002. Furlan said via Twitter, “Inspiration for tonight’s race found on the inside of my running tops (Run fast live fearless). I’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.”<\/p>\n
