McMaster University
XC & Track Teams is proud to host
the 2013 Ray Lewis Relays
in honour of Hamilton born
Olympian – “Rapid” Ray Lewis
(1910-2003).
Ray Lewis was born and died in Hamilton and was nicknamed
Rapid Ray for his speed on the track. As a member of the track and field team at Hamilton’s
Central Collegiate, Ray excelled in the 100, 200, 400 and 800 metre distances. Ray was the first Canadian-born black Olympic
medalist, capturing a bronze medal in the 4x400m relay at the 1932 Los Angeles
Olympics and a silver medal in the 4x440y relay at the 1934 British Empire
Games.
This highschool track meet is the first meet to be hosted at McMaster's new track, and will be host to some fast times, on what should be a beautiful sunny day. We'll post results, and whatever photos and video we capture here after the meet, and hope to have some tweets posted @MacTrackVids. Come out and cheer on some of the areas best highschool runners, or take the opportunity to talk to any one of the many McMaster Marauder Track team volunteering at the meet.
