This Week at a Glance... Monday, October 27, 2014

The Cross Country team ran great at SWOSSAA!  The competition took place at Canatara Park in Sarnia, ON.  It was a cool, crisp and sunny fall day-perfect for running long distance.

Ainsley McNamara was first. She ran hard in the 4km race and did great!  After placing 10th in last week’s LKSSAA meet she ran big and placed 10th in the SWOSSAA championship.  The top 2 teams and the next 4 individuals qualify for the OFSAA Championship in Waterloo.  McNamara finished as the 5th individual.  Great job!

Justin McNamara, Dan Grootenboer and Stewart Watson also ran great in the senior boys’ race. They ran 7km over grass and trails.  Justin ran excellent placing 9th overall and just missing a trip to OFSAA, Dan ran a personal best finishing15th, and Stewart ran hard with a season/personal best.

Fantastic running and a great cap to the season.  We can all be very proud of them.  Way to go team from Coach Mac.

We are getting down to the wire and still have NO Basketball coach for our high school boys’ team.  Their season starts mid-November and pretty soon we will have to declare whether we have a team or not.  At this point, we have to say “no” but are really, really hoping for help in finding a coach.  Please if you have basketball background… we need you!  Please contact Sharon Smith at the school for more information: 519-352-4980 or sharonsmith@chathamchristian.ca.
