The traditional cross-country powerhouse schools - or at least those with a recent tradition of success - were right back at it on Tuesday at Kivi Park as the Rainbow Elementary Cross Country Championships brought together some 825 runners from across the region.

The Lo-Ellen Park Knights swept both the senior girls and boys banners, while the R.L. Beattie Barons (girls) and Walden Public School Heat (boys) would earn bragging rights in the junior age brackets.

The most impressive aggregate performance of the day, by far, came in the senior girls race, where the trio of Syla Swords, Sophia Oommen and Bree Bourget led a group of eight straight Lo-Ellen representatives to cross the line before the first non-Knight would do so.

In the senior boys race, it was Valley View Public School twins Carson and Kohen Crane who would secure the top two placements, followed by Avdi Kouldou of Lo-Ellen.

Misaki Diavolitsis of Algonquin Public outraced an R.L. Beattie chase group of Monique Fitzmaurice, Alyna Oke and Megan Pineau to grab top spot in the junior girls showdown, while three different schools earned podium finishes in the junior boys event, with Greydon Digby (1st place - Walden), Brock Batchelor (2nd place - Valley View) and Hudson Crowder (R.L. Beattie) showing the way.
