(Siblings, Adam and Martina Tait take 1st and 2nd in their respective races)
This week was TVRAA Central, TVRAA Tri-County and Huron Perth XC Championships and London Western represented very well. New members, Adam Tait and Dana Earhart won the Senior Boys and Senior Girls races at Huron Perth and Tri-County. Long time club member, Brad Sheeler, won the Senior Boys race at TVRAA Central. His brother, Matt is in his first year at Western University, so it is quite evident there is some distance running blood in the Sheeler family. The same can be said for the Taits, as Adam's sister Martine was 2nd in the Senior Girls race in Huron Perth. Sticking with the sibling theme, Zoe and Evan Burke both won their respective races in the Junior Girls and Midget Boys races at TVRAA Central. Below is a full list of club members finishing in the top 10 at their respective championships...
