"Van Leeuwen Breaks Coach Cory Curry's Brant County Record"
Tyler Van Leeuwen from St. John's College was going to take on pals J.R. Tangi and Riley Malcolm from North Park Collegiate. Three hours earlier, VanLeeuwen warmed up with a victory in the meet’s first event, the 2,000-metre steeplechase.
The 17-year-old continued his winning ways in the 1,500-metre race, leading start to finish and setting a record. VanLeeuwen's time of four minutes, 13.74 seconds, bettered Cory Currie's 2004 mark of 4:14.00. Malcolm was second Tuesday in 4:19.27,
“To be truthful, I was just happy to win,” VanLeeuwen said. “After a tough year in cross country, to win the steeple and the 1,500 metres is pretty nice.”
The record was icing on the cake, especially since the old mark belonged to VanLeeuwen’s coach.
“He's an awesome guy and an awesome runner,” VanLeeuwen said. “It feels great to beat his record. It was a bit of a surprise, but a good one.
