Notes:
We'd like to think that because Austen already has a twin on the McMaster team that his transition to University will be smooth ... but that really just depends on how easy Taylor wants to make it on Austen. Austen, like his brother, is also an accomplished triathlete.

Notes:
Lionel transferred to McMaster from Windsor last year, and after sitting out a year, will be eligible to compete in 2012-13. He has had a great deal of success in the duathlon, and as well as working his way into the traithlon world, he will likely be the top dog on the McMaster cross country team this year.
Sanders was the top Canadian at last year's World Championships in Spain and was recognized as Ontario's and Canada's Duathlete of the Year in 2011.

Notes:
Connor Mabbott took a year off after highschool whilst continuing to compete for the Greater Toronto Track Club, and will join the Marauder track team in the fall. We are billing this kid as the next Jimmy Tat with hopes that he will continue his current progression and be the next in line after a trio of talented 400m runners that have run for Mac (Jimmy Tat, Rudy Baronette, Scott Hutchinson).
