Eastend’s Streambank Golf course was the site for the SWAC Cross Country meet on Wednesday, October 14 with over 50 runners from six schools register for the event.
The weather was not ideal, very cold and windy, but the athletes were determined to run. Races were staggered so that social distancing and maximum number of racers/spectators fell within SHA guidelines. Huge thanks to Marie Hanson and her crew from Eastend School for helping set up and run the event.
Age group winners were:
Gr. 4/5 Pee Wee girls – Claire Topham (Eastend)
Gr. 4/5 Pee Wee boys – Tucker Paul (Cabri)
Gr. 6-8 Bantam girls – Surrey Lamotte (Ponteix)
Gr. 6-8 Bantam boys – Micky Lane (Shaunavon)

The Gull Lake Lions will host their first game on Monday, October 19 against Shaunavon at 4 p.m.
Spectators are limited to 30 for outdoor events. Each school has developed their own protocol for how those seats will be assigned (those spectators will be required to sign in). Masking is mandatory for spectators as they enter/exit the event, but can be removed in the stands IF social distancing rules are followed (as determined by host school).
