(WOLFVILLE, N.S.) - Acadia University was host of the first AUS cross country meet of the 2014 season and the Dalhousie Tigers and StFX X-Men and X-Women posted well.

The X-men won the men's opening season meet.

The course for both men's and women's was on the flat terrain of the Annapolis Valley in Wolfville and was chosen as the first run of the season for its less challenging topography.

Top runners for the host Axewomen included Annand, Ellen Taggart with a 20:12 run and Mackenzie Seagram at 20:18. The Axewomen finished fourth overall in a field of seven teams.
