OctoOctober 11, 2004 - 3rd Annual

Turkey Gobbler Fun Run &

Nature Walk

Fall was definitely in the air this Monday in Naughton where the the Walden Cross Country Fitness Club hosted their 3rd Annual Nature Walk and Run. Approximately 75 participants came out to enjoy northern fall colours at their finest. Some strolled, some walked, others ran and a few ran fast as they traversed the 3k or 6k loop of the Naughton Trail System. The course was in excellent condition and all comers were awed by nature's free colour show. And awaiting their finish was a bonus barbeque including hot dogs, sausages, drinks and even a basket of good tasting local apples. All this for $5 for adults and $2 for kids. I foresee this event gaining in popularity as locals discover the beauty and ease of access to this area.

Congratulations to the Organizers (Jeff Sewell and all) for putting on a great event.

Note: Jeff did request I let everyone know the 3k loop is lighted and they will be turned on Wednesday evenings for those who would like an evening stroll or run.

Kerry qualified for this prestigious event by turning a very fast 10:07:03 in Penticton's Ironman Canada. That speed was good enough to earn him a spot at the Big Show. Good luck Kerry!

Mustang Open
Thursday October 7th,Gibbons Park, London, Ontario

The Laurentian University Cross-Country Running team celebrated the Thanksgiving weekend with a 7th place finish at the Mustang Open in London, Ontario. Rookie, Kirsti Dolson from Orillia, led the squad, finishing 6th among university runners with a personal best time of 14:52 over the 4km course. She was followed by rookie Jennie Oliver from Perth, 30th in 15:59, Sudbury's Melanie Muise, 32nd in 16:04, Toronto's Caitlin Tino, 42nd in 16:45, Sheryl Neal of Totteham, 44th in 17:03, and Guelph's Kim Kilpatrick, 52nd in 22:56.

Laurentian was missing Leila Angrand and Marnie Smith, because of exams, and Alicia Kaye because of a foot injury. There were 188 competitors in the race.

"We're still running without a full squad," said Coach Dick Moss, "But I'm hoping we'll get everything together by the OUA's in three weeks. In the meantime, Kirsti Dolson had another exceptional race and keeps showing that she's one of the best rookies in the OUA."

Laurentian's next race is the Queen's Open in Kingston on Saturday October 16th.

Laurentian Results (University Section - 4km):
Kirsti Dolson, 6th, 14:52
Jennie Oliver, 30th,15:59
Melanie Muise,32nd, 16:04
Caitlin Tino, 42nd, 16:45
Sheryl Neal, 44th, 17:03
Kim Kilpatrick, 52nd, 22:56

Other Sudbury Results:
