The race started quickly as the British runner, Henry McLuckie In the first two laps, the field was extended by almost 50 meters. McLuckie was caught by Ahl and Comber with 200 meters to go. “I told myself to relax and stay in good shape,” Ahl said Olympic Games post-race on his strategy. “It was a confidence booster.”

Ahl trains with a distance coach at the Horizon Track Club in Victoria Mark Rowland, he says he's changed his workouts a lot. “I'm doing more,” says Ahl.

The 25-year-old was the top Canadian finisher in Saturday morning's BAA Invitational Mile. Corey Bellemore and Rob Heppenstall took the seventh and 10th places, respectively.

Ahl says he's back in training but has a big year ahead of him. “I'm moving from the 1,500m to the steeplechase; Haven't done it since high school, but I'm going to give it a go at the end of the month,” she says. “I think by the end of the season, I can win the Olympic qualifier by points or time.”
