School record runs for a pair of Medicine Hat College Rattlers at ACAC meet

Jan 26, 2026 | 7:42 AM

Daniel Friesen led the way for the Medicine Hat College Rattlers Track team, as they competed at an Alberta College Athletic Conference meet in Edmonton on Saturday.

Friesen, a Rattlers rookie and McCoy High School grad, placed second in the men’s 50 metres with a time of 6.15 seconds, setting a new Rattlers school record for the run.

Rattlers coach Bill Corcoran said the performance was the best-ever indoor clocking in any event for a Rattlers running, with a score of 897 on the World Athletics Scoring Tables.

Friesen led most of the way during the run, but was unable to hold off NAIT’s Malachi Muir in the last few metres. Muir was the Canadian Indoor 200 metres champion in 2025.

It was also a record-setting performance for another Rattlers runner and 2025 McCoy High School grad.
