Sunday in the 60-metre hurdles, Finnan won in 9.49 seconds, with a 16 one-hundredths cushion over the second-place runner, Sarah Taplin of Dalhouse.
Finnan capped her day by being part of X's winning team in the women's 800-metre relay.
Her performances helped St. F.X. finish second in the overall team standing.
With her victories, Finnan qualified for the Canadian Interuniversity Sport championships, March 6-8 in Edmonton.
