Well from the Junior teams that are now in grade 11 theres Highland, Theriault and St Thomas Aquinas. Plus R.S. Mclaughlin seems to have a good team to they placed fourth last year at OFSAA and they will be with Eric Dillon so they could medal to. Are there any teams that were senior last year that are still strong?? |

belanger is a definite dark horse especially since he had trouble qualifying last year due to the 2 ikrams and then had some injuries in track season. so if all goes well he should qualify easily since the cwossa senior race isn't as stacked as others and i wouldn't be surprised if he gets a medal.

Massey will still be very strong with 3 of their 4 four runners in the mix from their last OFSAA team, plus i believe their 5th runner? (who placed 40th there i believe, not sure if he was a grade 11 or 12) .. if all are healthy i could see another win by a large margin, and if its just the first 3 runners, a very probably medal |

belanger's back !? the guy's got top 10 potential if he stays healthy.
massey's whole team is back for another kick at the can. three-peat anyone? watch for notre dame burlington, r.s. maclaughlin, sydenham, and courtice to be fighting it out for the next two spots.

woodfine will not will by a large margin. whether or not he could is irrelivant, but he wont. he has never shown the desire to lead an ofsaa event. IF he wins, itll be in the last 500m

Massey returns all six senior boys from last year. They should be tough to beat. If Daryl gets healthy again, and Kowalsky stays healthy - they will be tough. They have 6 guys on this team that can run under 9:00 if they are healthy - should be fun to see just how big of a margin these guys will win by. I believe these guys have never lost.
Mclaughlin will be tough with a tough leader like Dillion and if Notre Dame can return to their junior form they could be tough.
This year will tough for individuals - it is deep this year with a lot of guys who have run between 8:30 and 8:45 - could make for a real good race - comes down to who wants it the most.

I think ever since the beginning of the season he could run those times. He just never had a meet which was just one race, he always did at least a 1500 and an 8 or a 3. Thats why all of a sudden when he just does one race his pb shoots through the roof. But yes i guess with an 8:43 it will be hard to lose, but he will not be near the top in senior Never bet against the gr. 10, 6"2, undefeated, 4 time ofsaa gold medalist. Just don't. |

What about connor darlington? I belive he is the only guy to ever beat woodfine in an ofsaa running competition? |

darlington beat tristan by 2 seconds in 2007 in the midget boys race. but conner won pre ofsaa that year, an heard from everyone about how he would win, whereas tristan didn't attend pre ofsaa and was just looking at a top 10. when you're midget boy, you never really know how you stack up, you always think theres someone better. i think tristan could've taken conner had he known what he was capable of, but thats just food for thought, we'll never really know

you're forgetting it's very tough to excel as a gr. 11. even jp finished 16 in his first-year senior. no offense to denault or king, but they've got to be thinking top 10 and even that's going to be tough. last time more than two 11's finished top 10 at an ofsaa was niagara falls and that race was pretty gongshow to begin with. (anyone else remember the sand they used for the start? like, what the hell?) odds are against them, i'd be calling king somewhere 5 - 10 and denault'll finish just outt imo. Even JP finished 16th his first senior year? More like, JP tripped, fell down a hill, got a concussion off a rock, and STILL finished 16th. He won pre-ofsaa that year. |

She could pass for someone much older I'd like to know what your basing this on? I believe Jamie beat Natalia in their last meeting, at a very relevant distance (3000m at BMY's). Jamie has also run a faster 3000m, and has shown she can run in a big race (10:04 and silver at youth nationals). IMO Jamie Phelan will be the OFSAA champion, however not by much. |

Jamie won by half a second... natalia was told to go easy due to the two 4x800 relays she was in the next day Oh and this helps too: www.athleticsontario.ca/Groups/Results/2008/2008%20OTFA%20Cross%20Country%20Championships.html |

although it's going to be close i definitely think jamie's going win to ofsaa since she wasn't even training when she ran otfa's and has improved a lot this year.

Honestly this thread has changed from Senior Boys, which is a legitamate debate about who the top contenders are to midget girls you guys really need to realize that no one cares about midget girls or boys.

last thing...
I really don't think taking it easy is pushing the last 300m by making a move into first, kicking to the finish and getting practically leaned out, and not to mention getting practically 20 seconds under her seed time.
Your free to talk about your senior boyfriends, goingthedistance
