Wednesday, March 20th, 2019
Program: 1st Year, Bachelor of Engineering
Hometown: Grande Prairie, Alberta
Brandon Tufford graduated from the Grande Prairie Composite High School last year and was recruited to GPRC as one of the top middle distance runners in the province for his age. In 2018, Brandon placed 3rd in the Provincial High School Championship in the 800m.
During the 2018 cross-country season, Brandon struggled a couple of set-backs as stomach issues derailed most of his races. However, when the indoor track season came around the second semester, his fortunes turned around and he consistently placed among the top 3 in his races, setting 7 GPRC Wolves school records.
