On Jan. 20, Troschke competed in his first indoor university track meet Jan. 20 during the Golden Bear Open, hosted by the University of Alberta.

"That is a freshman beating the best from the west who could be up to four years older than he," Troschke's dad, Ralph, his former coach, says.
The elder Troschke says that result placed Andreas third in the nation under USport (formerly CIS) rankings.
