VICTORIA (CIS) - The University of Guelph Gryphons entered the record books on Saturday at Beacon Hill Park in Victoria when they swept the 2007 CIS women's and men's cross country titles becoming the first school in history to return home with double gold in consecutive years.
It marked the third straight CIS crown for the Gryphon women, who finished with 57 points for a comfortable 39-point lead over the silver-medalist Calgary Dinos (96) and an 88-point advantage over the third-place St. Francis Xavier X-Women (145).
The Guelph men, winners of six of the last nine championships, scored 59 points to distance OUA arch-rivals, the Windsor Lancers (79) by 20 and the Sherbrooke Vert & Or (111) by 52.
Windsor had claimed three straight men's banners before Guelph ended its title run in 2006.
Gryphon rookie Lindsay Carson captured individual gold in the women's five-kilometre race crossing the finish in 17:41.3. Carson, one of four Gryphons to place in the top ten (1, 7, 8, 10), left Beacon Hill Park with both the CIS female athlete-of-the-year and rookie-of-the-year awards.
Alberta's Paula Findlay (18:02.1) and Western's Leila Angran (18:04.7) rounded out the podium.
Vert & Or sophomore Alex Genest won the men's 10-kilometre event in 31:40.3 to claim male athlete-of-the-year honours, 12 months after being named the nation's top rookie following a silver-medal finish in his first CIS championship race.
Genest barely beat out Manitoba's Kristjan Hunter (31:41.6) to the line, with David Gerych (31:46.7) of StFX also coming in within seconds of the winner.
The team champion Gryphons placed three runners in the top ten, with Matt Brunsting just missing the podium in fourth place (31:53.1 seconds). Teammates Kyle Boorsma, this season's OUA individual champion, and Joe Brunsting were seventh and 10th, respectively.
Calgary's Geoff Kerr (32:09.4) also made history in his fifth and final appearance at the CIS event. Last year's gold medalist finished sixth to become only the fourth five-time all-Canadian in cross country history, following Memorial's Paul McCloy (1980, '81, '83, '84, '85), Ottawa's John Halvorsen (1985, '86, '87, '88, '90) and Moncton's Joel Bourgeois (1989, '90, '91, '92, '94).
In CIS cross country, the top seven finishers are named to the first all-Canadian team while finishers 8-14 place on the second squad.
Male rookie-of-the-year honours went to Dalhousie's Peter Corrigan (32:31.2), the first freshman to cross the line, in 11th position.
Caroline McInnes of Dalhousie and Saskatchewan's Matt Mazurik received the Student-Athlete Community Service Awards, while Guelph's Dave Scott-Thomas was named both women's and men's coach of the year for the second straight season.
Scott-Thomas wins the women's award for the third year in a row and fourth time overall, and now has six Fred Foot Awards as men's coach of the year.
