COMMENTS BY COACH TORREY OLSON
"Alan had an amazing season to reach the national stage. At the start, he was a bit further back than he hoped to be, but fought a gritty battle to move up 69 spots from his position of 138 at the 1km to finish a very respectable 69th. It will be great for Alan to be able to carry this experience into his track season."
