Laurentian University will host the OUA
Nordic Ski Championships Feb 18 and 19, with more than 100
students from eight Ontario universities completion.
The men's 10-kilometre race and three-person
relay will take place Saturday, as does the women's five-k race
and relay. The competition starts at 9 am.
The men's 15-k and the women's 10-k race is
scheduled for Sunday, starting at 10 am.
Lakehead University in Thunder Bay and
Carlton Univeristy in Ottawa are the cross-country skiing
powerhouses and are the favourites to win, although LU's Carley
Kenwell and rookie Julie Porter have had impressive runs all
season long and could do some damage for the Voyageurs.
On the men's side, Tim Carlton is considered
to be LU's strongest skier but will have his work cut out for
him if he's to succeed amidst a tough field.
