2012 OFSAA Report

Glebe Girls Golden, Great Day for the Days

Glebe Collegiate won Gold in the Junior Girls race and placed 7th in the Senior Girls enroute to capturing the Overall Girls Title at the 2012 OFSAA Cross Country Championships at the Heart Lake Conservation Area in Brampton ON.

Claire Smith was 5th, Katherine Marshall 11th, Zoe Pritchard 30th, Alexa Livingstone 31st and Emma Barrett 69th as the girls recorded the lowest team score of the day with only 77 points, easily outpacing runner up Bill Crothers of Unionville with 188.

The Day brothers turned in identical performances in different fashion both winning silver medals; Owen in the Midget Boys race while older brother Mickey did the same in the Senior Race.  Owen charged out of the gate and was the only one brave enough to try and stay with Birchmount Park's Edward Hayfron, who had won the Heart Lake invite by 47 seconds.  Day finished only 10 seconds back.  Mickey ran a more tactical race, and was 6th at the halfway point, but moved through the top runners as they started to falter and moved into 2nd place with only 400m remaining to match his brother's finishing place.

Glebe's Midget Boys team also picked up a medal placing 4th overall to win Antique Bronze.
