Re: Humboldt Speed Skater Breaks Canadian Record Again
(Red Deer) Humboldt Speed Skater William Dutton set a new Canadian Record at the Alberta Open Long Track Championship in Red Deer Sunday. Dutton, a Humboldt Club member, and a Speed Skating Canada’s Regional Training Center athlete broke the existing 3000 meter record.
In a statistical anaomoly, only three skaters have held the record in the three years it has been an official distance and all three are Humboldt Skaters. Addison Thiel set the original record for the first time in 2004 with a 4:40.87. Nathan Bernhard broke it in 2005 with a time of 4:37.86. Dutton skated a new record in under 4:30.66 in 2006.
