While the world focuses on on London, a large number of Canadian University athletes have one eye on London, and another eye on London. As of today, August 2, we are 100 days out from CIS Cross Country Championships in London Ontario. Excitement is building as runners begin their base training. The UVic boys are excited to training hard in preparation for the big dance in the Forest City.
Some Random Thoughts about CIS Champs:
- On the Men's and Women's side it's shaping up to be once agian, the most comptetive CIS competition ever.
- We are14 weeks from CIS Champs, 5 Weeks from Time Trial, 7 Weeks from Western International
- It's never too early to grow facial hair in CIS preperation
- Last time Western hosted CIS XC Marauder Women were dead last, and the Men were 3rd last.
- This is the 50th CIS Championship on the Men's side (33rd Women's)
Some Random Thoughts about OUA Champs:
- They happen before CIS
- 50 years ago, the McMaster Men won their first OUA title.
- OUA's this year also marks the 100th anniversary of the contest for the H.R Little Cup (OUA competition first began in 1901 but the cup was first awarded in 1912)
- Not counting the years the OUA competition was skipped due to World Wars, this is the 102nd year of the OUA Championship
