Skaters Let Inner Crazy Take Over

Summary


"My legs were a little shaky. I haven't been on my skates for three months since I quit the WHL," said 18-year-old former Saskatoon Blade Troy Crowley, whose time of 12.82 seconds was enough to win the first heat against about 70 competitors, but not enough to get him to Quebec City.

He was eclipsed by .01 of a second by Rejean Bilodeau, whose 12.81 seconds was fifth. Three previous Winnipeg qualifiers -- Sean Brokop, Chris Moxley, Brett Gavrailoff and Brook Robson -- were among those who made the grade again for the 2008 Quebec City finals.
