The UBC Okanagan Heat are the newest member of Canada West track and field.
The Heat, who have competed in Canada West cross country since 2018, became a member of the track and field competition Thursday and will be participating in track and field events starting at the 2021-22 Championships.
“For our endurance running program, this announcement completes our transition from the college system” said UBC Okanagan athletic director Tom Huisman.
“The missing link from a competitive perspective was being able to compete against our rivals during the U SPORTS indoor track and field season. This decision by Canada West now allows our university runners the same opportunities as other schools with university-based competition during the winter term, which will further contribute to our pursuit of being among the nation’s best in distance running.”
