KAMSACK — Approximately 350 students from 13 schools within the Good Spirit School Division were at the Kamsack Comprehensive Institute on Sept. 22 for the second annual Assiniboine Valley Run.
There were a total of 17 different races during the day, from the youngest runners in Grade 3 to the oldest senior student runners, who were Grade 12 students, said Ryan Lambert, one of the organizers of the meet. “Ribbons were awarded to the top five runners in each race and there were a lot of excited and exhausted runners at the end of the day.
“The weather was ideal for cross-country running and everyone at the KCI was eager to host the meet again after several years of 小蓝视频 unable to do so,” Lambert said.

“I would like to send a huge shoutout to everyone who helped make the meet a huge success – my staff volunteers, the cross-country coaches, the students who helped set up the starting area and served as course spotters, and the parents and community members who also came out to either help with the day or cheer on their young athletes,” Lambert said. “Without all of your help, none of this is possible.”
