Jared Howse, of the men’s track & field team, is the UNB REDS/Papa John’s Pizza male Athlete of the Week.
Howse ran to a pair of bronze medals at the U SPORTS Track & Field Championships, in Winnipeg.
In the men’s 1000-metres, Howse ran with the lead pack throughout and edged the fourth place finisher by less than 7/10ths of a second.
Later the same day, he anchored UNB’s tremendous 4-by-800-metre run to a third-place finish, the first relay medal at a national championship meet in UNB history.
“Jared had a great weekend and took another big step in his U SPORTS career,” said REDS head coach Chris Belof. “He had an outstanding run in the 1000 and doubled back later in the evening to anchor our relay. After all that, to re-focus and run a personal best in the 1500-metres the next day showed his quality. The ceiling with Jared is still very high and we’re excited for what the future holds.”
