CALGARY, Alta. - In just the second meet day of the season, the University of Saskatchewan Huskie Cross Country team recorded third and sixth-place finishes at the 2025 Canada West Cross Country Challenge Saturday (Oct. 4) in Calgary.
Coming off a first-place finish to open the 2025 season at the Dakota Classic, the Huskie men secured a podium finish thanks in part to a pair of top-20 finishes at Canmore Park. After opening the season with a second-place finish, fifth-year Saskatoon product
Alexander Webster put together another strong performance, securing a 9th-place finish overall and crossing the finish line fourth among Canada West participants with a time of 25:46.
Kaiden Deck was the next Huskie to complete the race, finishing 19th overall and 13th in the conference thanks to a time of 26:06, over a minute faster than his time at the Dakota Classic.
Jacob White and
Bennett Friesen recorded 28th and 29th-place finishes (22nd & 23rd in division) to secure four top-30 finishes for the Huskies while
Ben House came home in 35th to make up the Huskie scorers.
On the women's side,
Morgan Tiede led the way for the Dogs after crossing the finish line 27th overall and 22nd among Canada West competition with a time of 31:08. The third-year Kinesiology major added to a strong 2025 season thus far which includes a first-place finish at the Dakota Classic. Competing the race just 14 seconds behind Tiede was
Angelina Beveridge-Warick, who came home to finish in 31st overall and 26th in a field of 40 Canada West runners.
Brooklyn Roney (35th),
Petra Tymko (45th), and Kyra Shelton (53rd) would complete the Huskie scoring positions, helping the team complete the day with a sixth-place finish in the team standings.
