The junior Men had the pace set yesterday by the first four heats, and it was obvious that to be one of the 20 quarter finalists, there could be no holds barred.

Curtis Out, Varette In (NT) By Ken Whiting June 26, 2001 Tyler Curtis suffered a separated shoulder on Sunday, and had to withdraw on Monday. Matt Hamilton is the first Canadian alternate, but due to the lateness of the injury, Kevin Varette will take the position because he is in Sort already, and is next in line.
