Three cheers for UTM's Cross Country team who turned in a strong showing at the OCAA provincial competition in October. Eight members of the team qualified to compete at the CCAA event in Quebec on November 11, 2017, becoming the first-ever UTM athletes to qualify to compete at the national level. Kudos to head coach Adam Hassen and assistant coaches Sara Fournier, Aya Abdeldayem and Sam Dumcum for leading the team through a great season.
