Men's cross country team snags gold, heads to B.C. for championships
For the third consecutive year,
and the fourth time in the past five
years, Fanshawe's men's cross
country team won this year's
Ontario Colleges Athletic
Association Cross Country
Championships. The Humber team
finished the championship in second
place and Fleming-
Peterborough came in third.
The championship was held on October 29 at St. Lawrence College in Kingston, Ontario and featured distance runners from 17 colleges across Ontario. Fanshawe's Clint Smith finished with the OCAA silver medal with a time of 26:04 in the eight-kilometer run.
"I think it's always great news for the college when we're going down the road to nationals, again for the men's cross country team, which has been very successful in the past. I have to give full credit to our line up of coaches: Head Coach John Loney, who's in his eighth year; his Assistant Coach Ron Becht, who's in his fifth year; and our complement of two Associate Coaches, Ashley Vandervecht and Nancy Delorey," said Joanna Verbeek, Athletic Officer at the Fanshawe College Athletics Department.
OCAA runners will compete in the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association Cross Country Running National Championship, hosted by Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, British Columbia on November 12.
