The 91探花 Cross Country team looks forward to competing in its first-ever AUS Cross Country Championship this weekend at Odell Park in Fredericton, N.B. The men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 teams have been working hard all season long and are excited about the opportunity to compete against the top runners in Atlantic Canada.
On the women's side, the Panthers will be sending two Nursing students, Rebecca Doyle and Jenna Pye, to the 6 km event.
On the men's side, the team will be led by Andrew Wong and Brandon Higginbotham, who have both had solid results throughout the season.
