Two Tri-City residents on the Simon Fraser University Clan track and field team have more than speed going for them. They have been named to the 2014 Great Northwest Athletic Conference All-Academic squad.
Coquitlam's Brendan Wong coupled his GPA of 3.35 in kinesiology with lightning speed results on the track to earn his slot on the all-academic team. He recorded a season-best time of 2:00.58 in the 800 m at the University of Puget Sound Shotwell Invitational and 4:07.52 in the 1,500 m at the UBC Open.
Meanwhile, fellow Coquitlam resident and SFU kinesiology student Erina Cho, a sophomore, posted a GPA of 3.28 while training for 1,500 m and 3,000 m competitions.
