Saskatchewan’s high school cross-country running championship wrapped up over the weekend with Edam taking home a team title.

H. Hardcastle School posted a category best 79 points in the 1-A category at the 2021 SHSAA Cross Country Running Provincial Championship, which was hosted at the Carlton Trail Ski Club’s Dixon Hills near Humboldt, Sask. This course, cutting through natural forest, wilderness trails, and fields, provided challenging and varied terrain, as well as elevation changes. Edam blew their competition away, as their 79 points were 51 fewer than second place Muenster (having lower point totals is the goal).

One of the school’s best results was Senior Girls runner Carli Mosimann, posting a time of 18:31 in her 4-km heat to finish 14th. Intermediate Boys runner Carter Cole ran 3-km in 11:22, good for eighth in his category.
