The Nepean Knights won the 2015 edition of the Gryphon Open at Mooney's Bay Park on a cool, windy afternoon. The Knights captured the Midget Girls, Junior Girls and Junior Boys races, placing 4th in the Midget Boys and 6th in the Senior Girls to claim the title from the host Gryphons. The Gryphons won the Midget Boys and both the Senior Girls and Senior Boys races.
Franco Ouest turned in an impressive 1-2-3 finish in the Senior Boys race (Roberts, Bouma, Splinter), but were without a fourth scoring runner.

Trinity Invitational
The Glebe
Gryphons kicked off their season on a winning note, defending their Trinity
Invitational title – capturing the cutest Trophy in
all of sport. The defending OFSAA
Champions captured both the Midget Girls and Senior Girls races, while their
boys placed 2nd in Midget Boys and Senior Boys.
Shona
McCulloch (Longfields-Davidson) kept her perfect High School record alive,
opening with a comfortable (12 second) victory over last year’s Midgets Girls
bronze medalist Mei Mei Weston (Glebe) who lead a strong group of Gryphons that
placed 5 runners in the top 11.
McCulloch went to the front early and ran mostly unchallenged over the
new, lengthened Trinity College course that hopes to host the OFSAA
Championships in 2016. Glebe’s depth was
apparent in the results as Glebe’s 5th – 8th runners
captured 3rd place in the race – which uses multiple, dynamic team
scoring.
Jack Pensom
(Glebe) was the class of the Midget Boys field, running comfortably with a
large pack through the first 3K.
Attrition slowly took its toll on the lead group and Pensom found
himself hounded by only a single St. Michael’s runner by the base of Mount
Trinity. Pensom slowly pulled away up
the hill and onto the flats and was able to hold off a late charge to seal the
win.
Last years NC Midget Boys Champions, Ashbury, ran a solid team race to claim second place in the Junior Boys race.

2014 OFSAA Report
Glebe Collegiate completed it's outstanding season with unprecedented success at the OFSAA Cross Country Running Championships in Waterloo. Glebe won the Girls Overall Title for the third consecutive year and missed the Boys Overall Title by a mere 2 points, placing second overall.
The Glebe girls kicked off the day with a nail-bitter in the Midget Girls race. Mei Mei Weston and Beth Rhead placed 3rd and 5th respectively making for a very tight battle with Windsor's Vincent Massey. Massey used a strong team effort, placing all 4 girls within 31 seconds of each other to eke out a 152-156 victory over Glebe. The Junior Girls race saw a repeat performance from 2013 as Lawrence Park repeated as Champions defeating the Gryphon girl's by 27 points (146-173). Individually, Shona McCulloch (Longfields-Davidson Heights) defended her title from a year ago running to a comfortable 5 second victory, easily pulling away over the last 300m for the win.
The Senior Girl's race saw the most dominant performance by any team at OFSAA this season. In fact, the Glebe Senior Girls scored the lowest winning team score of any Senior Girl's team since 1973 as they posted a meager 68 points. The win provided for not only the largest margin of victory for the day, but the largest margin of victory ever at an OFSAA Championship as they beat runner up Westdale of Hamilton by 207 points (68-275). Claire Smith led the team with a 6th place finish, followed by teammates Katherine Marshall (8th), Alexa Livingstone (18th) and Natasha Wong (36th).
Ashbury and Nepean contnued their tight battle in the Midget Boys division. Only 17 points separated the teams at the NC meet, and they placed side by side (18th-19th) separated by only 29 points down in Waterloo.
The biggest surprise of the day came from the Glebe Junior Boys. Fourteenth last year as a Midget Boys team, the Glebe boys were bolstered by the addition of Teegan Harris (who placed 37th last year in the Junior race) and Finn Perreault, to vault the Gryphons onto the podium with a third place finish. Harris lead the charge, placing 8th overall with Perreault 58th. Teammate Grall-Johnson, who took a medicine ball to the head in a training accident earlier in the week and was doubtful as late as Thursday made the trip and helped secure the podium finish, placing 63rd. Finally, not to be shown up by their younger teammates, the Glebe Senior Boys repeated the task with a bronze medal winning performance in their race, as Eastern Ontario teams dominated the competition. Valour (Petawawa) prevailed in a very tight battle with Kingston Collegiate (147-152).
