At last weekend’s AUS Cross Country Championships in Moncton, Gillis was chosen as Women’s Coach of the Year.
The X-Women Cross Country Team also won the AUS banner, led by Antigonish native Siona Chisholm, who crossed the finish line in first. Chisholm was also chosen the Athlete of the Year and Rookie of the Year in Women’s Cross Country. It was also a great meet for the X-Men Cross Country team, who finished 2nd.
