While she still has that weapon in her arsenal, she has added another in the senior ranks. The St. Thomas Aquinas runner pulled away from the field from the starter's gun at the season-opening Bishop Tonnos DREAMS meet at the Christie Conservation Area. When the time came to turn it on for the finish, she had already built an 11-second lead on Loyola's Alicia Knox. Hennessy, who was undefeated last season, went on to a 33-second victory, finishing the fivekilometre course in 18 minutes and 28 seconds. That knocked almost half a minute off her winning time (18:57) in last year's event. Knox, the only runner to finish within a minute of Hennessy, was second in 19:01. In addition to the faster start, the timing of Hennessy's finishing kick has also changed. Last season she would kick it up a notch with 150m remaining. This year she is looking to distance herself from her rivals over the final kilometre. Loyola's Paulina Maher finished fifth. Lindsay Bryant, 12th, and Courtney Heffernan, 19th, helped Loyola finish second in the senior girls' division. Blakelock's Berkin Cetin was narrowly edged for first place by Iona's Juan Bernal in the midget boys' race. Both finished in 18:29. Kyle Klassen of King's Christian Collegiate was sixth. In the junior boys' race, Patrick Queenan of King's Christian Collegiate turned in a third-place finish. Loyola's Cameron Sayers was 12th. Erin Queenan of King's Christian Collegiate finished fifth in the junior girls' race. Jackie Kurgan of Appleby College was seventh and Erin Champion of Loyola was ninth. Aquinas' Kelly Hennessy was sixth in the midget girls' race and Blakelock's Sasha Boulton was 12th. Ramsey Franklyn of Appleby College was sixth in the senior boys' race and teammate McKenzie Parsons was 12th. Senior girls basketball Katy Moes scored a game-high 10 points but King's Christian Collegiate fell 45-29 to Burlington Central in the opener of the senior girls basketball season.
