McMaster 2012 Graduates - Part 1

Read Part 2, and Part 3

Exams are done. These are happy times as students are allowed outside for the first time in months to see sunlight. Sunscreen is important to those of you that have spent your time locked in basements studying. Most students are in that lovely time period between the end of school and the start of work, and of course preparations for the outdoor track season.

However, things are not all rosy, and now we must say tearful goodbyes to our graduates as they move on to the next stage in their lives. It is with heavy hearts that we say farewell to the following athletes that left lasting impacts on our cross country and track teams.

Graham Bowes 

Editors Comments: Graham tried out for the team in his first year, but missed the standard. Fast forward to his final year, Bowes lead the Marauders at the cross country OUA and CIS championships with a 19th and 21st place. Graham showed dominance on the track solidifying himself as one of Mac's all-time greats as the 3rd fastest Marauder ever over 1500m (3:52.69), and 2nd fastest over 3000m (8:22.93). That fast 3000m secured his spot at the 2012 CIS indoor championships (the first individual male qualifier since 2009). While there he kicked down Vikes distance standout Clifford Childs for 7th place. Safe to say Graham is no longer that mediocre first year who couldn't make the team standard. No, Graham Bowes is King. Lizard King.

Words of wisdom for rookie's or recruits? 
What you do in your off time has consequenses, eat well and get rested
How being a part of McMaster XC/Track has enhanced your university experience? 
Diversifies the stressors in life, adds perspective to the university experience. You always benefit from surrounding yourself with good people.
Thanks to:
Obviously coaches, for tirelessly digging for the full potential of every athlete

Tristan Sandhu

Editors Comments:  Tristan joined the team in his first year in 2008, and despite an unfortunate habit of entering triathlons, he's a pretty awesome person. In fact he is recognized as being one of the nicest people on the team. Knowing this and using it to his full advantage, Tristan has been known to enjoy pranking teammates, because Tristan wouldn't lie. Would he?

Take advantage of the facilities and trails (physio, pool etc)  
How being a part of McMaster XC/Track has enhanced your university experience? 
It was by far the best part of my university experience. Ill look back on these 4 years and wont remember a single thing I learned in class, but Ill always have the memories and comradery of being apart of a special group.
Thanks to 
Pete, Paula, Rory and everyone on the team. Also the entire McMaster Athletic department, I really value their (coaching included) vision to strive for excellance.

Sadly, Ill be racing in another teams singlet. Its going to kill me a little. 

Jill Wyman

Editors Comments: Jill graduates this year, but thankfully she's back next year to start her Masters and finish off her last year of eligibility. We'll praise her more next year after she completes her storied career in the Maroon and Grey.

How being a part of McMaster XC/Track has enhanced your university experience? 
Varsity teams provide a foundation for lasting friendships, adherence to a schedule, opportunity to discover yourself, continuous and varied challenges, and a chance to embrace your individuality. Mac xc and track undoubtedly added an entire dimension to my undegrad experience.
Thanks to 
Paula, Pete, Rory - this coaching team is unlike any other and each one offers something different and wholly valuable. Jeff Giles and Athletics Admin - for your support, belief, and motivation, all necessary to the team's success and evolution.
Additional comments 
I am excited to close out my varsity years the same way it started, as a McMaster Marauder!

Andrew Yorke

Editors Comments: Though not quite graduating yet (he'll get there don't rush him), Andrew Yorke has finished his eligibility and sadly will no longer dawn the Maroon and Grey. Instead he'll shift to the lighter colours of Red and White. Yorke has been a fixture at the top of the McMaster squad in his 5 years, despite his intensely competitive triathlon seasons. 21st at CIS cross in 2010, and 3rd Marauder all-time in the 3000m (8:31.84). He's also affectionately known as Dad amongst his teammates. And although the title may have been self-assigned, it is entirely adequate. Yorke frequently sits down with everyone of his teammates individually and has one of his typical Dad conversations. He'll hear out your problems and then offer you advice on things from race strategy to training, from beetroot intake to party limiting, from cooking to relationships. His leadership on the course will be sorely missed, but much more so will be his leadership off the course. Luckily he'll be hanging around for at least one more year.

Favourite part of Mac experience 
Watching my teammates succeed in sport, school and life. Knowing that I am a part of an genuinely amazing group of people!
Most memorable race 
9th OUA XC Champs 2011. Knowing that I got to run in Larry Abbott's final season made that my most memorable year.
Words of wisdom for rookie's or recruits? 
Buy in to the team philosophy and train hard year round! Listen and ask questions to teammates and coaches, don't be intimidated - we want to see you achieve your personal best!
How being a part of McMaster XC/Track has enhanced your university experience? 
Everything about my university experience is tied into the team. I couldn't imagine what my McMaster career would've been like without the guidance of my teammates and coaches. I'll never forget my experiences living in the track-shack with the boys and all of the trips to cities across North America. This team has challenged me to become a more accountable student and made me value hard work over material success.
Thanks to 
Coach Sneyd, Schnurr and Self - you are not just great coaches, you are amazing people! To all those I lived with over 4 years - The Lost Boys of the Castle, the Shitty Pines Crew, The Eagles Nest. Thanks to the women's team for putting up with Prankwars as well our bad taste in haircuts and facial hair. All the parents,cheerios and alumni that come out to make sure we feel at home even when we're hours away!

Women

The Battle of the Plains of Abraham was a crucial battle in the Seven Years' War fought between the British and French Armies over North America. Prior to the war the French dominated nearly all of Canada, but the stand made at the Plains of Abraham was enough to swing the tide in favour of the British. Foreshadow? Will this year's CIS cross country championship be a remake of the ancient battle? Can the Marauder Women overthrow the current dominators of Canada in the Guelph Gryphons? 

Mac will need strong performances from the likes of Lindsay Carson and Victoria Coates upfront as they strive to best the lowsticks of the Gryphons. The depth will have to come fast and hard as Wymann, Haliburton, MacNeil, Patterson, and Anderson will have to all be searching for Guelph singlets. Silver at a National Championship is nothing to be upset with, but these girls want the gold.

Men

With Yorke, Bowes, McCurry, Bysice, and Tice all moving on next year, this is a do or die race for most of the squad. They have done the mediocre, and are now ready to turn some heads on the big stage. All of these boys have had sub-par races this year, but word on the street is they are rolling now and ready to make it hurt. Competition for the Bronze this year is tough with Victoria, Laval, and Queens, but these Mac boys are going to go out with a blaze.

A good weekend for the Marauders this weekend. The women were back of guelph but well ahead of the other teams as they finished second. Coates had a huge kick on the track as predicted, but had to settle for 4th. The Mac men had some solid runs and some not so solid runs. This coupled with stellar runs from Queens and Toronto meant yet another 5th at OUAs for the maroon and grey. But Head Coach Rory Sneyd said it best, "You ain't seen nothing yet"

Women

It looks like the girls might have to settle for second again this year at OUAs. Okay settle probably isn’t the right word for it. More like kick butt, and place just about as low as possible without winning a team title. Of course we do need to keep in mind that anything can happen on a cross course, and you can bet your bottom dollar that Coach Rory will have these girls peaking come CIS’s and they will be looking for a great pre-CIS tune-up Saturday.

Sarah Haliburton will try to keep her steady rise through the ranks as she feasts on mere mortal's flesh that didn’t spend their summer working in India. Victoria Coates will be flying around the course in her Nimbus 2000, with mud and mondo in her eye. Maybe we will see a huge kick on the track like CIS indoors last year. Jill Wyman will also be dangerous on the track finish. I wouldn’t want to be ahead of any of these girls come that final 300m (flashbacks of every Halloween movie chase scene). Rounding out the scoring will be Steph MacNeill and Sara Giovannetti, who both have had rock solid performances this season. Close on their heels will be Courtney Patterson and the top female rookie for Mac, Chelsea Mackinnnon.

Men

The men have not looked better than this in over 10 years. Could this be the year that they claim the programs second ever OUA team medal? Well let's set the scene a bit.

The Western Mustangs have been the favourite for the early part of the season for the Bronze at OUAs and CI’s, as Guelph and Windsor have solidified themselves as distant 1^st and 2^nd teams. But Mac beat Western handedly in Chicago at the Loyola Lakefront. Why on Earth is Western still ahead of Mac in some rankings? Well, the crux of their success is hindered on their consistency. Western’s top 5 has run very inconsistently over the past two years. With a lack of depth, and injury prone front runners, they have disappointed on many occasions. However, when all their guns are firing on the same day they are lethal (see the CIS Bronze they pulled off last year). If Western has an on day on Saturday, Mac will have some serious competition.

Queens is the other team with a legitimate case for a top 3 position at OUAs. Under new coach Steve Boyd’s, Queens is transitioning into an aerobic powerhouse. Boyd has impressive personal credentials, and has lead Queens to dominance in the past as an athlete, but his team has yet to really show results indicative of beating the Marauder men this year. Some close to the team claim they have been waiting until the championship races to show their cards. I think we’ll find out Saturday.

For the Maruaders, Andrew Yorke will keep carrying on his beet-infused stellar season as the top dog. He finished an impressive 9^th at OUAs last year, and this year seems to be on track for a top-7 performance. No pressure. Graham Bowes, Taylor Reid, and Jordan Bierema are going to be the Ghost Busters this Halloween weekend. Will this trio be able to win battles against the provinces’ best, and bust the myth that the men are just waterboys for the women’s team. Normally I just look at the last race to list off the team members, but I know Cory will come in here for at least the 5^th spot (sorry Bysice). Cory was built for 10k cross and is the team’s X-factor that can push the team onto the podium. Challenging for scoring positions will be Andrew Bysice and Ryan Tice. With this veteran top 7 the boys will be looking to trick and treat Saturday.

Speaking of Ryan Tice, he is one of the top reason’s you should make the trek to Ottawa Saturday. Not only to see him race, but to see the pure genius of the flag he has made for this year.

Women

The Marauder women's team will march into the rival guelph's neck of the woods Saturday and try to shame them on their home turf. Linday Carson will be making her first return to racing at her past home, and though she's not expected to be booed everytime she goes for the lead like a high-profile hockey player  might, we do expect the Guelph girls to put up a fight in the race. Luckily she's not fighting this battle on her own. Close on her heels will be Victoria Coates (who was crowned Jr. National champion on this course last year), and Jill Wyman. Not to be outdoed will be the likes of Sarah Hali(burden)  and Steph MacNeil amongst a slew of Maraduer depth runners as they not only try to prove their worth against Guelph, but also amongst themselves as they battle for the hotly contested top 7 OUA and CIS racing positions. Although nothing really matters until we get OUAs and CIS, if the Mac girls are going to take home the top prize they are going to need to show that they can win some battles this weekend.

Men

With 9 out of the 15 OUA teams representing this weekend, the Vic Matthews Open should be a great indicator of how OUAs will turn out in 2 weeks. Missing only Western out of the big name teams (but how can you really miss Western ;)),  the finally full Marauders squad will be looking to prove their worth to all those doubters that make the polls. Yorke wants to mix it up this weekend with the Guelph lads as he will continue his duties as the lowstick. Taylor Reid will be riding his strong performance in Chicago into this meet with Graham Bowes chasing closely. Expect to see Jordan Bierma to slot in around here as he will be trying to pull off a redemption race after a rough go in Chicago. Captain Cory McCurry should round out the scoring as he waits patiently to get in another 10k at OUAs and CIS. The odds seem to be in the favour of Brown, Bysice, Rasmussen and Forbes to finish out the Marauder top 9, but on a tough course like this where the real grinders stake their claim, who knows what may happen. Maybe we'll see a darkhorse.

If you've got some free time Saturday make sure you get down to Guelph to watch will definitely be an amazing couple of races with a strong McMaster presence.

Go Mac Go!
