St. FX Cross Country head coach Eric Gillis says he’s very pleased with the performance of his runners at the U Sports National Championships in London, Ontario. Gillis says he was pleasantly surprised with the X-Women Cross Country team, placing third.
It’s the second podium finish in the program’s history for the X-Women at Nationals; the last time, also a bronze was in 2007.
Gillis says he’s also pleased with the performance of the X-Men cross country team. He says while it wasn’t their best day on the course, they finished 11th, just shy of their goal of a top 10.
