Sixteen Huskie student-athletes are set to make the trip east for the national championships with another 8km test awaiting them.
On the men's side, rookie
Colter Folk will look to lead the charge as he has done so much in his first season wearing green & white. The Swift Current product was Saskatchewan's top finisher at the conference championships two weeks ago, earning a 20th-place finish to become just the second Canada West All-Rookie in program history. Joining folk is deep roster of runners, each with the potential to finish the day in a scoring position for the Huskies.
Jayvin Cross Child and
Troy Campbell followed up the rookie at the conference championships while
Bennett Friesen,
Justin Schuler,
Colin Stock,
Preston Dodge, and
Jacob White could all find themselves among the Dogs best as well.
The men will be the first to see action on Saturday, with their race scheduled to begin at 12:07 PM local time, or 11:07 AM CST.
On the women's side, similarly to the men's outlook,
Angelina Beveridge-Warick will look to once again lead the Huskie women. Two weeks ago in Calgary, the local Saskatoon product narrowly missed out on earning All-Star status after coming home in 16th to record Saskatchewan's best individual result on the day.
Nathalie Toledo,
Kyra Shelton,
Brooklyn Roney, and
Madelyn Kaban rounded out the Huskies top five on that day and could see similar results come Saturday in Dundas.
Morgan Tiede,
Eryn Kielo and
Petra Tymko will also make the trip, affording the Huskies with plenty of potential for strong results.
The women's race is scheduled to follow the men with a 1:07 PM local time start, or 12:07 PM CST.
