They discussed sport in Surrey, especially track and field and the upcoming developments at Bear Creek Park. She also shared some photos from the UAC Instagram page, and he was very pleased to hear of our club success.

"Team Universal" Rocks the Vancouver "First Half" Marathon
|
Emily Kydd ran the Vancouver "First Half" Marathon on Sunday February 10, braving sub-zero temperatures to achieve a personal best time in the 21 Km event.
The last half marathon Emily ran was in Jamaica, just a bit warmer than Sundays race, but she broke that time by 7 minutes. It also helped that the snow held off until she had crossed the finish line. Emily began her athletic career as a 9 year old, and is still running, plus volunteering as a provincial BCA Official. She welcomes any other UAC members to join her in long distance running. Congratulations to our one person Road Racing Team! (Note crazy woman in background jumping up and down and waving her arms in video below.) |

Upcoming Outdoor Practices
Universal is on the move!
The City Of Surrey has granted UAC the use of Bear Creek Park, so most outdoor practices will be held there this year. The track at NSSS is suffering from age, and is becoming less satisfactory for use. There are no city plans in the future to resurface the track.
