Thomas De Vries is going to win OFSAA. He certainly will be a big contender, he had a dominating win today at TVRAA. |

don't forget about a guy like jordan collison who's been racing pretty good and could crack the top 10 if he runs a good race especially with this year being so deep and wide open.

this midget race is shaping up pretty good and we'll get a better picture of who's truly the favourites once regionals come along since not many of them have run at the same meet since pre-ofsaa was missing some good runners and messina ran junior

Two midget boys from wossa will both likely be in the top ten sameem javeed has a good shot a medal, and tristan fleming usually follows not to far behind him.

T-Wood can not win against these guys whether he has the skill or not. If he has the skill to win against them, then he most certainly would be able to win against them. The fact that you disagree with these predictions only strengthens them in my eyes. |

The fact that you disagree with these predictions only strengthens them in my eyes. you don't consider eveything dr1500 says to be insightful and poignant? i didn't know anyone on TnFnorth felt that way. dr1500's strong following on this message board, coupled with the extensive knowledge base he must have to have earned a doctorate means that i take dr1500's word as law on all subjects. |

Why do you have Hosier over Jani and T Wood over Degroot maybe its just me but sounds like non-sense. T-Wood can not win against these guys whether he has the skill or not. While normally I too would tear apart the Doctor's latest "non-sense", he deserves some credit here. He has conceded that "maybe its just [dr1500]". As per usual, it is. |

I should add that as I ran through what I thought was a secluded piece of parkland not one hour ago, I ran headlong into the senior boys' WECSAA championship. While I did not see the finish, Belanger appeared to be setting the early pace, and toying with the idea of swallowing a smaller competitor whole, mid-race.

Do you mean the WCSSAA Championship at Bechtel Park in Waterloo? I ask because you mentioned Belanger and a smaller competitor. If that's the race you speak of, Belanger came 3rd today. That smaller competitor must have escaped his clutches |

until today i would have COMPLETELY agreed with you, but sleiman ran unnaturally fast on the malden course today He won by almost 2 minutes... Mile pace .2 second faster than Daryl. And it didn't even look like it phased him. I can't wait to say what he runs with someone to beat. |

Agreed. The kid won Heart Lake in 16:35. I don't know the other course but to run that fast at Heart Lake is difficult |

6th place was Andy Shields from PHSS, and yeah everything else was right as far as placing of individuals and teams.

On another note... Eamonn has his hands full with Moyer, because I race in Junior Boys, and I know that Gavin Shields doesnt like to let Eamonn pull away, and Moyer deffinately wont let those 2 get away. Shits gunna go down  |

junior boys is going to be sick. at the start of the season I think it was easy to call out eammonn then gavin then maybe sloan or masters but now you've got moyer in the mix and at yesterdays wcssaa race gavin lost to reid hayes who many people probably haven't heard of but is a serious threat. the only medal that might be a lock is eamonn's gold but I think even he might get a good run for his money

Senior Boys Top 10 Teams 1. Vincent Massey (they got it locked up) 2. Pickering 3. Cameron Heights 4. R.S. McLaughlin 5. Sarnia Northern 6. Thousand Islands 7. Highland 8. ESC Theriault 9. St. Anne's 10. Saugeen District Outside lookin in: Sydenham, Courtice, Centre Wellington excuse me but what result or reasoning puts Pickering infront of Cameron. |

Holy crap, Ried Hayes, maybe he just wasn't trying at the start of the season, but at the first race he got 4th in a wcsaa race without gavin, and at the wcsaa championships yesterday, he beat gavin shields. He didnt even do cross last year, and he got like sixth at cwossa in the 3k last year =S

My reasoning is that I believe Pickering will put there top two in the top 15, possibly top ten, and also Cameron Heights only beat Pickering by 6 points at Pre-Ofsaa, so yes it will be very close between them but I think Pickering will beat them. |

I took my daughter to Boyd today to go over the course and if there is a lot of rain the week before OFSAA the results could get messed up due to that downhill. It was really slippery today after all the rain last night and it will be very easy for someone to wipe out if they are running fast. By the time a few races have gone it will be muck. Hopefully they will leave the leaf cover on the trail since it helps a lot with the footing.
When I raced OFSAA at Boyd in 1981 that downhill was really sloppy and I put 18mm spikes in. I got those "nails" from some 60s era vintage cinder track javelin boots and I doubt you can get that size anymore.

It was actually Pickering's fourth runner who was 81st at pre ofsaa. If you look at those results, the top 3 on pickering beat all the top three from your school, and I think that there fourth will have a better race at ofsaa. Also you cant think that just cuz ur school beat them at pre ofsaa your gonna do it again. I just think that with a top 2 like they have it will give them a big advantage over you guys, but go ahead and prove me wrong, these are just my predictions. |

The small bridge at the bottom has some treacherous holes hidden under leaves...nice ankle-breakers. Great course overall though. |
