The STU cross country team kicked off their season on Saturday as they hosted the first of three meets.

Heavy winds and occasional rain did not stop the Tommies and runners from three other schools from tearing up the course in Odell Park. The women were racing five kilometres while the men raced eight. 

Galvin sisters keep pace

Anna and Sarah Galvin

Runners find encouragement in a lot of different places. They have family and friends off on the sideline as well as their teammates running right beside them. But two runners on the STU cross country team have the best of both worlds.

Anna and Sarah Galvin are both wrapping up their second season as members of the STU cross country team. Anna has returned for a fifth year after completing her Bachelor of Arts and is currently enrolled in the social work programme. Sarah is in her second year and has not declared a major for her BA but wants to eventually go into education. Both sisters cite their mother as being the main reason for starting to run.
