Stellar fields for the BC Cross Country Championships

October 20, 2015 9:14am

The 2015 BC Cross Country Championships take place in Nanaimo on Saturday, October 24, with senior fields worthy of a National Championship. Races are scheduled for all ages, from 9 to 99, with BC team places on the line in the Youth, Junior, Senior and Masters events. The Canadian Championships will take place in Kingston, ON on November 28.

Both Luc Bruchet and Chris Winter, the 2013 and 2014 Canadian Champions respectively, will start in the senior mens race. And they will be made to work by full squads from Trinity Western, UVic and UBC.

The senior womens race is equally compelling, featuring Canadian international represenatives from Alberta (Maria Bernard), Yukon (Lindsay Carson), and Ontario (Hilary Stellingwerff), as well as home grown talent (Rachel Cliff) and Scotland's Sarah Inglis.

Down the age groups, last years inaugural Canadian Youth Cross Country Champion, Christina Sevsek will be one to watch, as well as Junior internationals Mirelle Martens and Regan Yee.
