Gryphon Open

Competitors at the 2018 Gryphon Open were treated to sunny skies and beautiful racing conditions after several wet days in Ottawa this past week.  Big shout out to West Carleton who made the trip to participate, despite their school still not being open due to the Tornado damage in the Dunrobin area.  We wish all students and athletes affected by the storm the best and hope they can return to some sense of normalcy as soon as possible.  Thank you to all the volunteers who have, and who continue to help our communities impacted by the storm.

The host Gryphon squad looked very dominant on their home course as they captured 5 of the 6 divisions after losing the first race of the day, the Midget Girls, to Colonel By.  The Gryphon Junior Teams, both medallists at OFSAA last year showed strength and depth, with the boys capturing the top two team spots in their race (which uses a multiple dynamic team scoring system). 

Full results are available on the Glebe XC site
