NC Harriers Open Season

Glebe CI was the first NC school to see action in the 2011 XC season at the Trinity Invitational, on a sunny, warm, Sept. 21st.

Three athletes made the trip to Port Hope with Alexa Livingstone placing 7th in the Midget Girls race, Charlene Rhead 6th in the Senior Girls and defending OFSAA Champion Yves Sikubwabo winning the Senior Boys race.

Sikubwabo became the first athlete to break 20 minutes on the 6.8K course, running 19:57 to slice almost a full minute off Matt Hughes' (20:56, 2007) previous record. Jeremie Bourget (Theriault - Timmins, 20:24) and Ben Flanagan (St. Mary's - Kitchener, 20:33) who ran together with Sikubwabo for the first 4 kilometers also broke the previous record.

Other NC schools will open their seasons tomorrow at the Louis Riel Cookie Run.

Full results available on the Glebe XC results page.
