Cross Country hosts annual Sled Dog Open Saturday

The University of Saskatchewan cross country team will host the annual Sled Dog Open in Saskatoon's Victoria Park. 

Canada West athletes from the University of Manitoba Bisons, University of Regina Cougars, University of Alberta Golden Bears/Pandas, University of Calgary Dinos, MacEwan University Griffins, as well as the Huskies will compete on the road to the U SPORTS Championship in November. The Sled Dog Open is the second meet on the Canada West cross country circuit, and the lone event taking place in Saskatoon.

For the first time in Canada West history, the women will be running the same distance as the men; eight-kilometres. The women's race begins at 12 P.M., while the men start at 12:45 P.M.
