The five members of the Estevan Comprehensive School Elecs cross country team who travelled to the regional meet on Wednesday have all qualified for provincials.
Aden Haywood won the senior boys event with a time of 18 minutes and 2.55 seconds. He finished more than a minute ahead of the runner-up, Evan James of Redvers School.
Also entered in senior boys for ECS was Jonathan Swirski, who wound up in 11th spot with a time of 24 minutes and 54.16 seconds.
Two athletes competed in midget girls. Kristen Carlson from the Estevan Comprehensive School finished fifth with a time of 15 minutes and 49.13 seconds. Kylie Phillipchuk was eighth in a time of 18 minutes and 15.74 seconds.
Hunter Siever was sixth in midget boys with a time of 14 minutes and 13.27 seconds.
The top 10 finishers in each event punched their tickets to provincials. Some will be unable to compete, so the next-highest finisher will qualify.
The provincial meet will be next weekend in Prince Albert.
Next week’s edition of the Mercury will have more on this story.
