Teammate Shannon Carter and Emily Kay-Rivest placed seventh and 11th, respectively.

"It was a good race for us," said Vander Klok, a doctorate student in linguistics. "It was fun and the conditions were very good, not too hot.听 The water at the lake was a little murky, making the swim more difficult."
听
In the men's 20-29 age group, Julian Gitelman finished seventh of 35 athletes.
听
In the 30-39 age group, both Cristina Pensato and Andrew Chung each placed 10th overall.

"Cycling on the Mont Tremblant Circuit race track was definitely challenging," said Miller, who just graduated earlier this month with an arts & science degree.听 "The uphill parts were hard, and at some points we had to go around athletes who had actually dismounted and were walking up the inclines."
听
The Mont Tremblant event was the second of five target races for the 缅北强奸 club.听 Three more competitions are on the schedule:听 at Magog, July 25; in Verdun, August 8; and in Montreal, September 11.
