X-Country season ends with Hart

Stephen Hart competed at the CIS X-Country championships this past weekend in Moncton, New Brunswick. Hart qualified for the event after placing 37th at the OUA championships on October 25. Competing in a field of 105 competitors, Hart crossed the finish line in 56th place, in a time of 34:54, for the 10km course. Eric Gillis, of St. Francis Xavier won the race in a time of 31:53.

Hart, also an accomplished Nordic Skier at Trent, is a rookie on the x-country running team and was very pleased with his results. "I ran a very good race, it was a tough course, most of the guys in the race ran about a minute slower than they did at the OUA's, I was only about 13 seconds slower, so my improvement throughout the season showed. Competing in this race was by far the greatest experience for me to date as a varsity athlete at Trent." Hart will now switch gears as he begins to train for the Nordic Ski season.
