"We are sending our biggest team ever with 34 athletes competing at this year’s AUS championship," comments StFX head coach Bernie Chisholm. 

"We are strong on the women's side and looking at giving the perennial championships Dalhousie a run for the women's' title."

\r\n

The Dalhousie Tigers have owned AUS championship titles, winning every women’s title dating back to 1990 and 25 titles overall. On the men’s side, the Tigers have won the last 8 AUS championship titles and 17 in the last 19 years. The X-Men and X-Women have never won an AUS indoor track championship banner.

The AUS events serve as qualifiers for the upcoming CIS championship scheduled for March 10-4th at Windsor University. Coach Chisholm hopes to have 4 to 6 StFX athletes qualify for the national championship event.
