CROSS COUNTRY
Ten SWAC intermediate/junior/senior athletes competed at the SHSAA Provincials at Wapati Ski Hills (near Melfort) on October 15. It was a beautiful, but challenging course.
Colter Folk won gold in the Intermediate Boys Division at the championship. This SCCHS athlete defeated 102 other runners in his age group. It was an exciting finish, with Folk winning by a mere three seconds over his closest competitor. In fact, six seconds was the difference between first and fourth place.
