Xavier Lemaitre from the RESQ's Champlain Saint-Lambert Cavaliers goes home with the bronze in a time of 25 minutes and 47 seconds. Tyler Jones from St. Clair, OCAA and Mathis Vallieres from Victoriaville, RESQ rounded out the top five. The team race was also a close affair with the winner finishing only 15 points ahead of third and a narrow 4 points ahead of second. At the end of the day the ACAC's SAIT Trojans have been crowned 2022 CCAA Cross-Country National Champions. They had a team score of 45 points and an average time of 26 minutes and 34 seconds.
