For yet another season the cross-country team was led by perennial all-Canadian Sarah Ali-Khan. At the National Championships in Sherbrooke a few weeks ago, Ali-Khan recorded a second place finish, which was a sligt improvement upon her third place finish a year ago. The womens team won bronze at Nationals this year for many more reasons than just Ali-Khan, however. Nicole Portley for one recorded an impressive 10th place finish and was named a second team all-Canadian for her efforts. The women's third place result at Nationals matched McGill's best ever finish and can be viewed as an unmitigated success after finishing 6th last year. They also won their third consecutive provincial championship.
The men's team was not as successful but neither were expectations as high. Their 11th place finish at Nationals was a mild success with top finishers Benoit Lebeau and Brant Carson finishing in 33rd and 42nd place respectively. No other Redmen finished within the top 50 at Nationals. The highlight of the Redmen's season came at the provincial championships where in their best showing of the year they were awarded silver. At provincials the men were again led by Danny Lennox who finished 6th overall. -JE
