Part of new endeavour to recognize the hard work put in by our athletes, Coach Kirk Dillabaugh will be naming the Cross Country Athlete of the Week this fall as we progress through the school and university seasons to the Canadian Championships this November in Abbotsford, British Columbia.
Our first XC Athlete of the Week goes to high schooler Adam Sanger for the week of September 16-22. Representing Glebe Collegiate, Adam placed second to OFSAA Steeplechase silver medalist Liam Walsh at the prestigious Trinity Invitational in Port Hope, ON, leading his Gryphon senior boys team to victory and contributing to Glebe’s overall team title.
Sanger covered the 6.4 kilometre course, which included two trips up the dreaded Mount Trinity, in 22 minutes and 18 seconds.
