Small but talented fields toed the line at the Haw-X Country Invitational which served as the first tune up races to be run on the course that will be used for the Conference, NC and ultimately the 2011 OFSAA XC Championships. While teams came from as far as St. Catherine's and Hamilton, very few Ottawa schools attended the meet, likely due to the meet being on a Saturday. One meet official commented, "It's a shame when we have a meet of this calibre here on Ottawa that we can't get more support from our NCSSAA schools." Those who did not attend missed out on some quality races.
Thousand Islands (Brockville) dominated the girls side, winning all three titles and also the Senior Boys title enroute to the Overall Aggregate. Frontenac (Kingston) and Sir Winston Churchill (St. Catherine's) won the Midget Boys and Junior Boys respectively. The top NC performance was turned in by the Glebe MG who placed a close 2nd (32-45) and the Lisgar JG who placed 3rd.
Hillcrest's David McHugh took advantage of the 4 athletes in front of him running off course to post a 4 second victory and brought home the NC's only individual gold medal. Emma Galbraith placed second in the Senior Girls race, while McHugh's teammate, Kelsey Grimes was a bronze medalist in the Junior Girls race along with Lycee Claudel's Alec Trapeau in the Junior Boys race.
