The next euchre party at the hall will be on Friday, Oct. 3 at 8 p.m. 26 at Cranbrook euchre For the second straight week, the St. Anne’s cross-country team demonstrated its position as one of Western Ontario’s top high school programs. Eagle runners raced competitors from over 50 other high schools at Southwestern Ontario’s foremost pre-season competition, the Fanshawe Invitational held at Fanshawe Park on London. Team results were highlighted by top team and individual performances in races exceeding 200 and even 300 athletes. The competition’s first event, the midget girls’race, put the rest of the field on notice as Shannen Murray’s first-place finish and Ali Frayne’s third-place result paced a dominating performance of 46 points. The Eagles claimed the championship with a score over 40 points better than their closest rival, Mother Teresa of London (87). The other team placers included Sheree Uyl’s 17th placing and Brittany Hymers’25th place. Nadine Otten (33rd) and Hannah Jansen (94th) performed well as the top displacers. The St. Anne’s senior girls were not to be outdone as two hours later they also laid claim to their divisional championship. The Eagles scored 76 points as Shauna Regier (10th), Grace Hartman (14th), Anna Lambert (25th) and Carly Winters (27th) “packed” well with less than a minute separating the four placers. Becky Van Doornik was the top displacer (92nd) finishing comfortably in the top half of the field of over 200 runners. In the day’s closest competition, the St. Anne’s junior boys (last year’s OFSAA bronze medalists) came second to London’s St. Thomas Aquinas (the silver medalists at the provincial championships). St. Thomas Aquinas remarkably placed four runners around the top and all within seven seconds of one another. Their team score of 39 was just four points better than the Eagles’ score of 43. Jordan Kadlecik’s impresive second-place finish led the Eagles. Also running well on the day were Stephen Lambert (11th), Pat Hartman (13th) and Matthew Steele (17th). The top displacers were Simon Fernandes (37th) and Craig Thompson (38th). Despite missing two of the team’s top performers, the Eagles’ junior girls finished a credible fifth in their division. Julia Huber (17th), Therese Hartman (32nd), Alanna Uyl (50th) and Anna Keller (51st) combined as the scoring runners on the team. Sara Kramers was the top displacer at 63rd. The midget boys were also shorthanded, and still finished a respectable seventh. The team was comprised of Tyson Van Osch (23rd), Matt deRuiter (39th), Liam Maaskant (44th), Sam Pitre (68th), and Ian Van Doornik (88th) and Dylan Barker (92nd). Injuries and illness depleted the senior boys’ team as it limped to a 19th place result. Michael Hogan was the top finisher at 46th. Next the Eagles will host a Huron inter-squad competition at St. Anne’s on Thursday, Sept. 25. Well done The North Perth Outlaws PeeWee lacrosse team won the silver medal in the D division at the provincial tournament.
