Elementary Cross Country
The annual Manitoulin cross country meet for the elementary schools set last week marks the end of a long and grueling season. C.C. McLean in Gore Bay played host to the chilly event on Thursday. The Little Current Coyotes won the overall aggregate trophy with 20 points, ahead of Mindemoya’s CMPS at 12.5 and C.C. McLean with 8.5.
Here are the individual medal winners for the top three in each age group. Unfortunately, the results do not include surnames, hopefully runners will recognize themselves!
In the 8 and under girls’ division, congratulations to: Aryanna (C.C. McLean) 1st, Mya (Assiginack), Megan (APS). The under-8 boys featured Alex and Arlo from C.C. McLean followed by Hunter from LCPS.
The 9-10 girls’ winner was Addison (APS) 1st, Sulla (CMPS) and Ayleana (APS). The boys’ winners were Tate (LCPS), Brody (C.C. McLean) and third Ollie (LCPS).
In the 11-12 class, Kailyn (LCPS) 1st, Ava (APS), 2nd and Ella (LCPS), 3rd. In the boys’ race Casey (LCPS) 1st, David (C.C. McLean), 2nd and Boston (LCPS).
The 13 plus division is traditionally not very well attended so kudos to those that participated. The girls’ event was won by Rowyn of Lakeview, Mila of Pontiac and Amber of CMPS. Roen (LCPS) won the boys,’ Collin (LCPS) second and Sean (CMPS), was third.
North Shore Cross Country!
The Manitoulin Secondary Mustangs competed in the North Shore (NSSAA) Championships last week as well. The Black and Gold won the dress rehearsal last week and ran with similar results! Beginning with the veterans, Maren Kasunich 1st, Mackenzie Green 2nd, Morgan Green 4th, Autumn Davy 5th, Delaney Bridgeman 6th, Willow Cooper 8th and Abby Hawke 9th to walk away with the team title.
The guys were as dominant with a near-perfect sweep! Brodie Pennie 1st, Xavi Mara 2nd, Alan Wilkin 3rd, TJ Green 4th and Matthew Wilkin 6th!
In the junior girls race Mya Balfe won the race and teammates Fia Flanagan 4th, Ava Corbiere 5th, Emery Watson 9th and Izzy Hughson 10th to easily win the division. The guys’ side unfortunately didn’t have any teammates to back up Wyatt Williamson-Wright’s great second place placing!
The novice girls’ race was similarly lonely for Mady Niven’s impressive 5th place finish. The novice boys’ race featured Bazi Mara in 2nd, Isaac Quackenbush 3rd, Aaven Edralin 9th yet just shy of recording a team result!
Wikwemikong runners shine at NSSAA!
The Wasse Abin High School had a small cross country squad out this year and were not able to enter a full team but the trio of Tryton Kanasawe, Seth Bennet and Patrick King-Shawana need to be commended! Way to go guys!
