Area runners make most of home course advantage

National capital runners earned seven top-10 finishes on their home course as nearly 1,500 of the province’s best high school cross-country runners descended on the Hornet’s Nest for the OFSAA championships on Saturday, Nov. 5.

Organizers couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day, and the star attraction of the competition came through to the delight of the hometown fans as Glebe Collegiate Institute’s Yves Sikubwabo blasted his own course record by over one minute and 15 seconds to easily win the senior boys’ event.
