The first Cross- Country Running season ofthe new millennium was packed full of good omens as the Fighting Owls soared to one of their best seasons. The Simcoe County league was shortened to only 3 meets and thro1.1ghout these races, the Coli ingwood Collegiate runners left the other racers wondering "Who let the Owls out?'. This was definitely a force to be reckoned with-especially this year's star performer, Jay Morrill. At the GB Championship, Jay demonstrated that he was the dominant Midget Boy as he ran away with first place and just a week later, he added OFSSA Gold to his list of accomplishments as he broke away in the final seconds of his race to be crowned best midget runner in the province. Jen Buie had a great season in the Jr. Girls category with a 6'h place finish at GB.and a 74'h place finish at OFSSA. At GBs, the Midget Boys Team ofNick Keast, Josh Sanderson,
