Ellerton in Europe

Andrew Ellerton has been busy racing in Europe over the past week.

He came 9th in Salamanca Spain on July 4th with a 1:47.8 for his first race. Felt sluggish and didn't run well tactically.

Then a very nice 3rd place in Padova Italy with a 1:46.66, off a 52 second 400m split. He beat some good international runner and is starting to round into shape again after dragging a bit during the month after NCAA's.

He may race again on Wednesday, before returning for the Canadian Nationals in Windsor this weekend.
