District Cross Country at Ottawa
By Bruce Monnin

It appeared to be a beautiful and potentially fast course at Ottawa Park until the rain came and turned it into a muddy and somewhat dangerous race. For many it was a battle to stay on their feet along a slippery creek bank and down a steep wall of mud, which caused fits for many competitors on the day. [More]
