Shona McCulloch (Longfields) got the day rolling with a blistering fast pace in the MG race.

Keili Shepherd ran with Merivale's Kiana Gibson before pulling away down the homestretch to lead the Gryphons to the team title.

Katherine Marshall (Glebe) led a tightly bunched lead group with Olivia Gaudet (Nepean) and Sophie Rodenburg (Earl of March) through 3K, but pulled away over the final K to post an 8 second victory, with Gaudet second and Rodenburg third. Marshall's teammates managed to finish with 7 runners in the top 17 to take the team title from Nepean 26 - 41.
Owen Day (Holy Trinity) got off to a conservative start, but by the 2K mark had worked his way to the front to run alongside Glebe's Darion Dillabaugh. Day made his move up the first little hill and ran to a comfortable victory, covering the 6,000m course in 20:59. Dillabaugh was runner up in 21:38. Teagan Harris, also of Glebe was third and Glebe packed 5 runners in the top 10 to win the team title with the lowest team score of the day and largest margin of victory over runner up Sir Robert Borden (19 - 80).
Claire Smith (Glebe) and Olivia Robertson (Brookfield) quickly separated themselves from the field in the Senior Girls race, opening up a sizable 400m lead by the midpoint of the race. Over the second half Smith pulled away from Robertson as well to cover the 5300m course in 19:24. Robertson placed second while Smith's teammate Alexa Livingstone used a strong final 1500m to finish comfortably in 3rd. Glebe's girls won the team title 24-51 over Earl of March.
The Senior Boys lead pack stuck together for the first couple of K, but then slowly started to string out. The lead changed hands a couple of times, but Glebe's Alex Bernst lead the break and stayed up front over the second half of the race to win, covering the 7100m course in 24:03, eight seconds up on runner up Brendon Howard (AY Jackson). Nicholas Gagnon (Earl of March) came from about 50m down over the last two K to claim the bronze.

Pirates Invitational
National Capital Athletes won three of six races at the 2013 Pirates Invitational, hosted by Thousand Islands Secondary School in Brockville on Friday, Oct 4th.
The day started off with a bang as Farah Abdulkarim (Gloucester) made a strong move coming off the second hill on the first loop and opened up a small gap on the field. He continued to press and widened the gap slowly over the second half of the race. Abdulkarim crossed the line in 22:06 lowering double OFSAA Gold Medalist Yves Sikubwabo's course record by 6 seconds.
Glebe's Claire Smith followed up in the Senior Girls race with the largest margin of victory for the day and smashed the 17 year old course record in the process. Smith ran with the lead group to the first hill but pulled away on the downhill and surged away quickly from her pursuers, running to a 1:19 victory, covering the 5K course in 17:07, taking 1:22 off Tracey Robertson's (Gloucester) course record from 1996 (18:29).
Although the outcome was the same, the method was quite different for Holy Trinity's Owen Day. Day, the 2012 OFSAA silver medalist ran side by side with last years bronze medalist Cameron Linscott (KCVI) for almost 5.9K before using his powerful kick to pull away over the last 100m.
Glebe's Katherine Marshall (Junior Girls) and Keili Shepherd (Midget Girls) also picked up silver medals, placing second in their respective races.
Glebe Collegiate won the overall meet title, capturing the Midget Girls and Junior Boys races, and placing second in the Midget Boys and Junior Girls, while the Senior Girls (5th) and Senior Boys (6th) also picked up points. Colonel By's Midget Girls were the only other NC team with a podium finish, placing 3rd.

Glebe wins Gryphon Open
Canterbury sweeps Senior Girls Medals
Glebe Collegiate captured all six high school races on a beautiful sunny day at Mooney's Bay, but it was the Canterbury Senior Girls that were the story of the day as they swept the podium in the Senior Girls race.

Unfortunately, Canterbury did not bring a 4th scoring runner, which allowed Glebe to complete the sweep of all six races.
