Ryan Cassidy is a New Brunswick native running for the University of Victoria.

Cassidy: "Yves who?"

Cassidy won the Junior division of the Canadian Cross-Country Championships last month on a rain-soaked morass of a course in Vancouver’s Jericho Park. (Rain? Fall? Vancouver? Huh?) He finished the 8K in 26:20 – just one second ahead of Ottawa’s seemingly unbeatable Yves Sikubwabo and another second ahead of Rob Denault, another great young Ontario runner currently competing for Villanova.

With these three continuing to perform brilliantly, and others like Xavier King and Connor Darlington in the mix, Canada’s future in distance running is brighter than it’s been in ages.

Can’t wait for track season.

Cassidy (R) leads Sikubwabo (L) and Denault through the mud on his way to a huge win
