Yet another strong representation from cross country and track as finalists at this years McMaster Athletic Awards that will take place next Tuesday April 2nd.
Victoria Coates
Nominated for the Therese Quigley Award for Female Athlete of the Year, Victoria Coates won bronze medals in both the 3000m and in cross country where she lead the McMaster ladies to a silver medal. Victoria has been nominated for this award before but never won it. If she wins she will be the 5th cross country athlete in a row to win it (Katie Anderson 2011-2012, Jess Pearo 2010-2011 and 2009-2010, Jill Wyman co-won 2008-2009).
Jeremy Walsh
Nominated for the Dr. Ray Johnson Award, which goes to a graduating male athlete that exhibits ability, leadership and the spirit of McMaster is Jeremy Walsh. Jeremy is graduating this year after his second year as team captain, represented McMaster at OUAs multiple times (though admittedly not as well as he would have liked), and has been an active founding member of the Cheerios and creator of the MacTrack blog.
Madeline McDonald
Nominated for the Mel & Marilyn Hawkrigg Award for Female Rookie of the Year is Madeline McDonald. Maddy finished 13th at the CIS Cross Country Championships this year as the 2nd rookie and 3rd Marauder. Maddy also recently represented Canada at both the NACAC and World Cross Country Championships, finishing 47th at Worlds this past weekend.
The award ceremony takes place Tuesday April 2, 2013 at 6pm. We'll let you know in advance if they plan to stream it live like last year at www.marauders.ca/live.
