Ontario University Athletics named Lancer Matt Walters a first-team all-star after his fourth-place finish at the provincial cross-country meet last weekend paced the Windsor men’s team to a silver medal.

His teammates Jeremy Cooper and Nick Falk qualified for second-team all-start status.

On the women’s side, Jenn Corrick’s 10th-place standing earned her an all-star berth.

Next up for cross-country is the Canadian Interuniversity Sport championship meet, November 10 in London.
