UTTC was the winning Club at the Canadian Masters Indoor Championships in Toronto on March 10-11. We repeated as the top National Club – having been the top Club at last year’s Canadian Outdoor Championships.
The meet was the last of five meets in the Ontario Masters Indoor Series. We had more points than the second and third placed Clubs combined.
