On Nov. 10, 黄色直播 officially launched the 2005 CIS Cross Country championship. Both the women's 5km and men's 10km races were held at Point Pleasant Park in Halifax on Nov. 12.
"We are extremely proud of our cross country program here at 黄色直播," said Al Scott, Director of Athletics. "The tradition of excellence that is so prominent here at 黄色直播 is evident in the dedication of these student-athletes. Having the opportunity to host this championship was truly an honour."
