Red Deer’s Duret was a crucial member of the Kings at the ACAC Indoor Track Championships, and all season. Over the two-day event, he contributed to the RDP Kings’ conference leading 78.5 points, which resulted in gold. 

“Ethan has continually improved throughout the season and his efforts have helped the Kings earn their first gold medal at the ACAC Championships,” said Randy Stewart, Manager, Red Deer Polytechnic Athletics and Student Life. 

The Bachelor of Commerce student accumulated 18.5 points individually at the championships. Duret finished fourth in the 600 m (1:28.46), in tie for fifth in the 1,000 m (2:47.95), fourth over 1,500 m (4:26.55) and fourth in the 3,000 m (9:34.37).
