October 16, 2007 – Fantastic weather and clear skies made for an excellent finale of the 2007 University Cup Series. Queens University emerged triumphant as champions for the third time in a row. Strong performances at Hardwood Hills during September and Boler Mountain last weekend aided the team in pulling away from the University of Guelph, who despite finishing second, recorded their best season to date. In third place was the University of Toronto who since the series’ inception has never finished below second.

Complete results can be found here.

This season marked the 9th year of the University Cup which ran its first race in 1998. It has since grown from a small number of schools participating to the 16 that participated this year. If you attend an Ontario College or University and are interesting in representing your school and helping this sport become more prominent please check out the Ontario Universities Mountain Bike Racing Council’s website here.

Lastly, A huge thanks goes out to the organizers David Wright and Mike Levesque who make sure every year that the series goes without a hitch.

Stay tuned for University Cup 2008!
