Louis and the Turkey

NC Athletes had choices on the last day of school ahead of the Thanksgiving long weekend.  Several schools travelled south to Kemptville for the annual Turkey Trot, where dinner and dessert were at stake (with winners being awarded Turkeys and Pumpkin Pies being given away as well), while other athletes got a chance to preview the East Conference Course at the Hornet's Nest during the Louis Riel Invitational.

At Green's Creek, last year's Midget Boys Champion Cameron Porter (Sir Robert Borden) got his season started on the right foot with a comfortable victory in the Junior race, while grade 9 Karina Hageltorn (Paul Desmarais) topped all the girls in the Junior Girls race with an impressive victory. 

The largest victory of the day came in the Senior Girls race where Rebelles Megan Roy ran to a huge victory on her home course.  The Senior Boys race saw the closest finish of the day as Harun Omar Ali (Ridgemont) outlegged Woodford (Nepean) for a 2 second victory. 

In Kemptville, Glebe's Rosalyn Barrett wasn't chicken at all as she lead the girls field from the gun to be the sole NC athlete to capture a Turkey, winning the Senior Girls race.  Also in the Senior Girls race, All Saints captured the team title with top 10 finishes turned in by Lauren Reid and Holly-Ann Shields.  The Glebe Midget Boys and Longfields Senior boys captured second in their respective races while John McCrae hit the podium in the Midget Girls race placing third.

Results can be found on the Glebe XC site
