Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School has placed first overall at the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) Cross Country Championships, topping a field of hundreds of runners from high schools across Durham Region.
The championship meet was held Monday, Oct. 28, 2026, according to the Durham Catholic District School Board, which announced the result in a news post this week.
Students from schools throughout the region, including Ajax, competed at the meet. The board said the Dwyer squad delivered an outstanding performance on the way to the overall team title.
The board credited the win to the dedication and hard work of the student athletes, along with the encouragement, guidance and support of team coach Mr. Cauchi throughout the season.
"Together, their positive attitude, teamwork and determination contributed to this achievement," the board said in its announcement.
The LOSSA title caps what the board described as an exceptional season for the Oshawa school's cross country program, and the board offered congratulations to the team on a well-earned championship.
Monsignor Paul Dwyer is one of the Durham Catholic board's high schools, and its runners competed against athletes from public and Catholic secondary schools across the region at the championship event.
