After missing the last race, Adam Skinner (Stratford) had a good return finishing in 36^th overall.

In the women's 6km race, Georgian's Meaghan Evon (Barrie) and Jessica Roach (Orillia) finished just six seconds apart in 24^th and 25^th place respectively.

Desiree Allen (Orillia) and Sophia Merilainen (Batawa) finished in 40^th and 41^st overall. Together as a team the Grizzlies finished in seventh place.
