Both the men's and the women's teams continued their successful seasons this past weekend at Malden Park in Windsor. This was the first university cross country meet held in Windsor since the 1998 OUA championships. The course was challenging and the summer temperatures did not help, with the heat affecting all the athletes, some severely. This did not stop the Marauders though, as the women improved on their bronze medal from Western with a second place finish. Maddy McDonald ran well again placing 2nd. Rookie Erin Mawhinney had a great race finishing in 7th, and Marauders Maddie Benjamin (8th) and Gabrielle Foran (9th) also finished in the top ten. Phoebe Cseresnyes finished 11th (in her first race as a Marauder) to round out the scorers.
The men's team once again found themselves atop the podium, also with four top ten finishes. Blair Morgan led the scoring in 2nd, Paul Rochus finished 6th, Paul Kolb 8th, Derek Van Schepen 9th, and Nick Kondrat 13th. The men's team is looking very strong, as they won despite missing four of the potential top seven (two Forbes, Darlington, and Ghiglione). You can read the Marauders.ca recap of the meet here, and the Sil has also posted Laura Sinclair's recap of the Western race.
