Based on his impressive 8th place finish at the CIS Cross Country Championships in November, Captain Blair Morgan was awarded a spot on the National team heading to the FISU Championships in March. This will be his second time donning a red and white singlet; the first was two years ago at the FISU Championships in Entebbe, Uganda. This time he will represent McMaster and Canada in Cassino, Italy, amongst a field of the best University athletes from across the world.

Coach Paula Schnurr was also selected as an Assistant Coach for the same team, and she will help support and accompany the team. This is a special opportunity as she will be gaining valuable international coaching experience while guiding Morgan in the last race of his University career.

McMaster's Track Training Camp

Yesterday morning, about 20 team members arrived in Clermont Florida, for a week-long track training camp. They will be training on the track at the National Training Centre and the clay road in the Orange Groves. Coach Paula Schnurr is there to guide the training and keep them out of trouble. The Marauders will use this week of hard training to jumpstart the indoor track season. They will race for the first time three days after returning, at the Can-Am Meet in Windsor Jan 9th.

The Faces of our Cheerios

At the 2015 OUA Cross Country Championships, our Cheerios caught the eye of the talented Michael P. Hall, the official photographer for the OUA. He took portraits of each of the beautiful, painted faces. They are posted on his blog, go check them out!

This was also a special opportunity to see the smile behind the camera of most of the Mactrack photos, Maxine Gravina.

Thanks to Michael P. Hall, Maxine, our Cheerios and all our other supporters!
