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
