Racing at the Augstana Open in Camrose, the Rattlers’ women’s team finished in third, with two top-10 finishes from captain Maddie Scrimger (ninth) and rookie Ellie Barlow (10th). The team finished a mere four points behind the second-place team from Lethbridge Polytechnic, while Red Deer Polytechnic won the women’s race.

MHC’s other finishes were sisters Mizuki (22nd) and Aki Iwata (32nd), Hannah Ulm (33rd) and Addison Weir (39th).

The MHC men finished ninth overall in the men’s race. Spencer Wilson (26th) and Gage Smith (27th) were the top MHC runners, with Taylor Rumberg (42nd), Claudio Requena (46th), Elijah Lavoie-Pierzchala (47th) and Griffin Goodfellow (48th) rounding out the team.

Next up for the MHC runners is the ACAC Championships in Calgary on Oct. 26.
