The Chilcotin Road Runners lived up to their name Oct. 2 during the 44th annual Williams Lake Cross Country Championships.
Participants, grades 3 to 6 students in School District 27, raced multiple distances in Boitanio Park for the event where Chilcotin Road, with 427 points, was crowned the overall pennant winner.
Results for the overall pennant were determined by taking the top 20 runners from each race and assigning points to the places. First place was awarded 20 points, second place was awarded 19 points, and so on.
The following are the overall pennant results:

8.) Maranatha – 50
8.) Big Lake – 50
10.) Marie Sharpe – 43
11.) Horsefly – 29
12.) Alexis Creek – 0
150 Mile, however, was awarded the handicap pennant by taking the number of grades 3 to 6 students in the largest school and dividing that number by the number of grades 3 to 6 students in each of the corresponding smaller schools.

1.) 150 Mile – 464.5
2.) Mountview – 297.3
3.) Cataline – 295
