The Sea-Hawks Cross Country team performed well in Antigonish over the weekend, securing second place for the men's team competition, three top ten individual positions and the other five athletes placing above the top 30.

Levi Moulton had the best result out of the Sea-Hawks, coming in fifth place with a time of 28:01. Christopher Galley and Tyler Cole came in eighth and ninth place respectively, with times of 28:27 and 28:34. Nick Snow was next for the Sea-Hawks in 17^th place and a time of 29:09, and Alexander Pittman in 25^th place with a time of 31:12.

5^th place Levi Moulden quotes "I am proud of how I performed but not satisfied. I know I can do better if I continue to put the work in throughout the rest of our season". He feels that the team performance "ensures if we keep working as hard as we have been, that we have a chance to do something special at AUS".

7th place Galley is unhappy with his performance, upset that his Achilles injury was giving him problems and set a cap on his pace. Galley believes "cross country races are so different from road races in terms of tactic styles, so was looking to find my mojo this race and see if the Achilles could survive the strain".

Cole is happy for his team and believes the race "has a lot meaning by giving us the experience and practice we need to perform at our highest level for the Championship race". Cole has an additional motive for training and representing the Sea-Hawks because he is also preparing for the World Military Cross Country Championship in Angola in November where he is representing Canada.  

The women's team battled it out on the course with Hannah Cooke coming in 22^nd place with a time of 25:26 and Danielle Seviour coming in 24^th with a time of 25:34.

Hannah Cooke reflects on the weekend "after the first race of the season I am feeling very tired, we didn't sleep much the night before so the race was very exhausting. I am proud of the race both Danielle and I ran, we were competitive with the other universities".    

Danielle Seviour feels that her first race was a bit of a learning experience, but overall she is pleased with the results. Seviour believes "this race was a good indicator of the work we have to do to get to AUS championships".

The Sea-Hawks look to keep a consistent performance heading into their next meet in Moncton. Track the Sea-Hawks performance on atlanticuniversitysport.com and support them when they take flight on October 13^th.
