Cameron was one of five Jag- uars to place in the top 12 in the senior girls' 5-km GHAC race last Thursday at the Hilton Falls Con- servation Area and CtK finished first in the team standings, mean- ing that Stefanie Parsons (4th), Stephanie Knowles (6th), Kayla Channer (11th), Sydney Ireland (12th) and Maya Da Silva (25th) are eligible to run in the OFSAA championship, to be held Satur- day at the Duntroon Highlands Nordic facility. Also qualifying amongst the senior girls were Georgetown's Meghan Sippel (5th) and Allison Sippel (9th) as the Rebels placed third in the team standings. The top five individual runners and members of the first- and sec- ond-place teams earned an invita- tion to the provincials. In the midget boys' 5-km GHAC event, CtK's Ponomarew was five seconds faster than the runner- up in Milton to head up a strong Jaguar team performance that re- sulted in Jacob White (4th), John- ny Boulanger (15th), Derek Urie (33rd), Daniel Nascimento (34th) and Weston Monroe contributing to the winning points total. Cameron Cherwaiko of CtK finished third in another Jag- uars' team victory in the junior boys' race, with teammates Justin Lavictoire (6th), Mitchell Shorgan (17th), Thomas Green (23rd), Jean-Sebastien Pearce and Juan Jiminez (27th) making the OFSAA grade. GDHS was second in team points, headed up by Jackson Gates (10th), Ivan Zdane (11th), Spencer McPherson (14th), Stefan Moneypenny (15th) and Yu Yi Lim (18th). Grade 12 Christ the King Secondary School student claimed another Gold- en Horseshoe running title last week in Milton and her senior girls' teammates will join her at OFSAA this weekend.

Photo by Eamonn Maher A couple of Georgetown residents are representing one of two Ontario teams playing in this week's Na- tional Women's Under-18 Hockey Championships in Huntsville. Sixteen-year-olds Courtney Maud and Meaghan Hector, who took up the sport with the George- town Minor Hockey Association, will suit up for Team Ontario Blue in the eight-team tourney, which also includes Quebec, Alberta, B.C., Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Team On- tario Red and Team Atlantic. Both play at the intermediate AA level in the Provincial Women's Hockey League-- forward Maud for the Stoney Creek Sabres and defender Hector for the Oakville Hornets. Hector, a Grade 11 Christ the King Secondary School student, hopes that a dislocated finger suf- fered a couple of weeks ago will heal in time for the tournament. Maud is in Grade 11 at George- town District High School and scored the winning goal for her re- gional team in the gold-medal game at the 2014 Ontario Winter Games, which were also held in Huntsville. Team Ontario Blue played its opening game late Wednesday af- ternoon against Team Atlantic and will face Alberta on Thursday. Maud, Hector set to skate for Team Ontario Terra Cotta's Nicole Waters has posted some record-breaking statistics dur- ing her four years on the soccer pitch with the University of Dayton (Ohio) Flyers and the star midfielder aims to continue her torrid scoring pace into the playoffs. The senior from Christ the King Secondary School will lead the Flyers today (Thursday) in a home post-season match against Duquesne in the Atlantic-10 quar- terfinals after beating that same school 5-2 last week. Defending A-10-cham- pion Dayton got off to a slow start this season, but Waters kept the team in contention for post-season play by notching an NCAA Division I-best 0.89 assists per game and a school-record 54 helpers during her Flyers' career, which also makes her the active leader assists in U.S. women's college soccer's top tier. The 5-foot-5 Waters has tallied six goals and 17 assists in 19 starts to help establish the Flyers as the second seed in the A-10 Conference with an 8-2-0 record (10-9-0 overall) and was named its Co-Player of the Week Award recipient after collecting two goals and an assist in a 3-1 victory over Massachu- setts on Sunday. An exercise science major, she has also been named to Dayton's Dean's List and was recently cho- sen as a top-10 Women's Soccer Finalist for the NCAA Senior Class Award, given to the student-athlete with notable achievements in four areas of excel- lence: the community, classroom, character and competition.
