CIS Cross-Country Running Championships,
Guelph Lakes Golf Course, November 13th, 2004
The Laurentian Women's cross-country running team placed 13th at the CIS Championships this weekend in Guelph.
Leila Angrand finished 41st with a time of 18:57 over the 5km course. She was followed by rookie Kirsti Dolson, in 18:59, Alicia Kaye, 77nd in 19:36, rookie Jennie Oliver, 106th, 20:55, Melanie Muise, 108th in 20:59, and rookie Marnie Smith, 112th in 21:13.
"Leila had some bad luck." said Rickey Goudreau, the squad's massage therapist. "She made a mis-step at the 1km mark, took a major jolt and actually popped a rib. I'm amazed she was able to finish the race."
"Aside from Leila's injury, it was a great way to finish the season," said head coach, Dick Moss. "The girls had their best race of the year and every runner gave absolutely everything they had. We beat a team that was ahead of us at the OUA's and another that has been top-ten-ranked for most of the season."
"I was hoping to finish in the 12-15 range, so 13th was a solid result for us."
