This past Saturday was the 2013 edition of Guelph's Vic Matthews Open, with some updated distances from previous years. With both the men and the women running the full OUA/CIS distances (10km and 6km, respectively), this was the first chance to see the guys run longer this season, and the first chance for the women to run 6km since the decision to up the distance from 5km was made.
The Marauders once again had some very strong performances on both sides, despite still not running all of their top athletes. Maddy McDonald had a strong first race, finishing 10th and leading the women to a 6th place finish. Kierstin Myers and Emily Nowak once again ran well together, finishing within 5 seconds of each other in 36th and 43rd, respectively. Also scoring on the women's side was Raquel Burgess in 53rd and Charlotte Ward in 58th.
The men improved on their placing from Western with a 4th place finish, only 3 points behind the 3rd place Speed River team. Lionel Sanders and Taylor Forbes both started their seasons off strong, with 6th and 17th place finishes. Close behind was Blair Morgan in 22nd, and rounding out the top five was Paul Rochus in 32nd and Gabe Ghiglione in 36th.
