[1:33] The best high school runners in Ontario braved the sloppy Sudbury conditions at the OFSAA Cross-Country Championships where big breakthroughs abounded. Now that high school XC is done, we make predictions for this weekend's U Sport Cross-Country Championships.

[13:37] Blazing times were run at the New York City Marathon, including surprise results in both the men's and women's elite fields. Kate and Maddy recreate American Des Linden's hilarious post-race interview. And they recap the Hamilton Road2Hope Marathon.
