The York University Lions cross country teams made the trek down the QEW to Hamilton last Friday for the annual Bayfront Open, held ahead of Thanksgiving weekend and hosted by the McMaster Marauders. 

The Lions brought a contingent of 10 men and eight women to the meet, their biggest pool of the season to date so far. The meet served as the final precursor to the OUA championships, which are scheduled for Oct. 25.
