Heading into the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations 2011 Cross-Country Championships, École secondaire catholique Thériault senior boys were ranked No. 1 in the province in a coaches' poll.

And when the gun sounded to kick off the 7,230-metre race in Ottawa the Flammes didn't disappoint, running to victory.

The Thériault senior boys picked up 114 points in the race, to finish 24 points ahead of second-place Highland Secondary School from Dundas.

Leading the way was Jérémie Bourget who had an outstanding race and finished third out of a field of 248 runners, in a time of 22 minutes 52 seconds.
