More than 900 student-athletes registered to run in PEISAA cross-country championships

The 2024 P.E.I. School Athletic Association (PEISAA) Source for Sports provincial cross-country championships takes place at Mill River Park on Oct. 19.

More than 60 schools are expected to participate in one of the largest PEISAA provincial championships on the SAA calendar.

“We estimate that close to 4,000 students have been running at their own schools since the start of September for a chance to represent their school at this prestigious SAA sporting event,” said PEISAA cross-country commissioner Paul Goguen. “What a great way to start off the new school year.”

Close to 920 runners are registered to run the Mill River course, and another 135 ran the Charlottetown Rural juvenile and senior courses on Oct. 15.

“The sport of cross-country in our schools is always a very popular sport,” said Goguen. “Kids just like to run and when you add a little competitiveness in the mixture, they get motivated very quickly. Anybody can try out and it does not cost anything at all, just get out there and run.”

There will be three different competitive and demanding courses offered at Mill River – 1.5 km for pre-novice, 2 km for novice and 3 km for bantam and intermediate runners.

Mike Connolly, school sport co-ordinator for the PEISAA, said October is always a busy and exciting time of the year.

“The fall sports like volleyball, soccer, golf and field hockey, caters to the older students, but cross-country adds a very large population of our younger students,” said Connolly. “Cross-country is unique in that it has both a team and individual format and allows for large participation.

“There is no other sport on the school calendar that allows for such big participation numbers. You see every level out here and the kids love representing their school.”
