Cross-Country Championships in Lethbridge 

Our Cross-Country running team is off to Lethbridge on Saturday for the ACAC Championships hosted by Lethbridge College. This is the final race of the season and is a re-run of Grand Prix #3 which Rattlers runners Becky Ross and Maddy Scrimger both finished on the podium and are looking to recapture the magic they had at that event. As for the men they are looking to challenge for a podium finish and hope to peak at the right time this season. The team is steadily improving each race and looking to keep that going this weekend.
