Cameron Slaymaker of the Coquitlam Cheetahs capped off an impressive season by winning the 10-year-old boys Provincial Cross-Country Championships at Clearbrook Park in Abbotsford last weekend.

The win gives Slaymaker first place overall with BC Athletics for the JD Cross Country Series.
Matthew Trent of the Cheetahs finished fourth in the 10-year-old boys event in a time of 8:23.03, giving him third place in the series.
Cheetah Amelia Hamnet's time of 7:21.27 was good enough for seventh place in the event for girls aged 7-9. The result puts her in third place overall for the series.
