What are you graduating from?     

Chemical and Bioengineering

What doing next year?     

I'm coming back for grad school!

Running plans next year

Mac team

Favourite part of Mac experience

Travelling with the team to CHI & ND. Having those workouts where everything seems to click.

Most memorable race

2011 CIS Champs. To be in the race for the first time and score for the team was just unreal!

Words of wisdom for rookie's or recruits? 

Commit to the program for all 12 months of the year. Do all the little things like putting the time in on recovery days and listening to your body. Most of all, take the time to enjoy the experience, it's a once in a life time experience and it goes by way too quickly.

How being a part of McMaster XC/Track has enhanced your university experience?

Joining the Mac team at the start of my third year was the best decision of my university career! I didn't join earlier because I had been worried about managing my engineering course load and being on a varsity team. My marks actually went up after joining the team. Go figure. It's the friendships I've gained and the team camaraderie that are probably the biggest things that have enhanced my university experience.

Thanks to

A big thanks to our coaches; Rory, Pete and Paula. You didn't give up on me and it finally started to pay off last year! Also, thanks to all my teammates moving on for all the unforgettable memories!

Additional comments

Super psyched to be back next year!

Katie Anderson - Year in Review

Katie Anderson, who didn't even break 20min for 5k in the summer, roared to life this year for a near-perfect final year as a Marauder. As captain she lead the cross country team to a bronze medal at the CIS championships on the Plains of Abraham in Quebec. This was the start of the medal haul. After cross season she prepared for her bread-and-butter. Track.

She left off her career as a Marauder with a stronghold on the McMaster All-Time list. She currently sits 7th in the 600m with a 1:36.30 (from her first year), 2nd in the 1000m with a 2:46.30, and 3rd in the 1500m with a 4:26.66. See full women's all-time list here.

Times are great, but Katie has always been a racer with her tremendous finishing kick. She started the season with a kick for the 3rd, behind teammate Lindsay Carson, in a strong field 1500m in Windsor.

At McGill she brought home two silvers, anchoring the 4x800m and then a silver in the 1500m. At Boston she added another silver to the collection in the 1000m. Then, the first night of the OUA championships she anchored the 4x8 team to a bronze medal. The following day she was in the 1500m and followed a hot pace set by Toronto's Tamara Jewett. With 400m to go Katie made a strong move by Jewett and went on to win the OUA title with nearly a 3 second gap to second place.

At the CIS Track and Field Championships the Marauder Captain had a tough triple to pull off. The 1000m and 4x800m on Friday, and 1500m on Saturday. In the 1000m she spent the majority of the race in lanes 2 and 3. In the home stretch she battled for room and finished 2nd while the top-6 athletes finished in a less than 1 second spread. After 2 hours rest she took to the track again, anchoring the 4x800m team to 8th place. Then on Saturday, she picked up her second silver of the meet in the 1500m after yet another strong kick. Katie help contribute to 17 points (2x8 points, plus 1 point for 8th in the relay) to help the Marauder women to 9th place on the weekend with 33 points.

Oh and she was a Marauder Scholar last year.

For all of this and more, Katie Anderson was awarded the McMaster Female Athlete of the Year for the 2011-2012 school year. She follows the footsteps of Jess Pearo for the past two years, and Jill Wymann 3 years ago, when Katie was just a first year. The prestigious award has had 4 straight years of cross country/track athletes on it, displaying female running domination at Mac reminiscent of the Paula Schnurr days.

This is a chronology of Katie's impressive year.

McGill Team Challenge Recap

The McGill team challenge did not disappoint this weekend with a slew of fast performances by the Maroon and Grey which included 18PBs.

The big performers of the weekend were Katie Anderson for her kicks in the 4x8 anchor leg and 1500m. In the 1500 she placed second and achieved the CIS standard. On the men's side Graham Bowes crushed his personal best (I'm pretty sure he hadn't run under 4 minutes before), with a 3:53, jumping to 3rd on the McMaster all-time list (which you can view in the tab above).

Marauders.ca Writeup 

Archived videos can be viewed from our friends from Montreal Endurance

Next weekend the Marauders will be split between two meets. A group will be at the York Open, and another group chasing CIS standards will be at Notre Dame.

Tat & Marauder Track Brightest at McMaster

The Marauder-Scholar brunch was this past weekend and the Track and Cross Country teams were more than well represented.

Marauder-Scholars are those competitors that have maintained a grade average of 9.5 in a minimum of 24 units of course-work. For the 2010-11 academic year, McMaster produced 206 Marauder-Scholars, which is approximately one-third of all student-athletes.

Winning the Dr. Jack Kennedy Award, was the the track team's own Jimmy "Ratatatat" Tat. The award is presented annually to one male student that best combine outstanding academic achievement and athletic excellence. Candidates exemplify the high ideals of Dr. Kennedy, including the qualities of excellence, integrity, community involvement and the development of the whole student-athlete.

Read the nice piece on Mr. Tat here.

The track and field team also scored the highest number of Marauder Scholars with 21, while the Cross Country team was fifth.

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.
