BURNABY, B.C. -

Canadian race walker Evan Dunfee set a new Canadian record at the Harry Jerome Track Classic on Saturday night in Burnaby, B.C., eclipsing a mark he set two years ago.

Dunfee of Richmond, B.C., completed the 10,000-metre race walk in a personal-best 38:39.72.

It was 14.48 seconds faster than the previous Canadian record of 38:54.20, which Dunfee set in July 2019. He also holds the Canadian record in the 50-kilometre race walk.

The 30-year-old world bronze medallist will represent Canada at the Tokyo Olympics, topping the race-walk team.

The annual Harry Jerome Track Classic, which was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is named after late Canadian sprinter Harry Jerome.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 13, 2021.
