Paving has begun on the new Track

Paving has begun! Thanks to @McMasterSports for this photo.

The paving process is used to create the final layer before the actual track surface is placed on the track. It ensures the track has the desired surface tolerance (it's not bumpy), slope (it's flat), and grade (it's pretty darn flat, but allows good drainability).

Week's Results at a Glance (July 9-15, 2012)

Another fantastic week of Marauder racing including several highlights at the Ontario Track Championships. One of those highlights was some incredible racing by Scott Hutchinson as he made it into the 400m finals, and finished 5th in a PB time of 47.99s! Also having tremendous performances at Ontarios were Eric Barry and Alison Ludzki who hit SBs and PBs, as well as recruit Madeleine Mcdonald picking up the gold in the Junior Women's 3000m race.

Week's Results at a Glance (July 2-8, 2012)

Many triathlons a couple 800s and a road mile were up for Marauder runners this weekend. Eric Barry is returning to form in the 800 as Taylor Fox seems to be a perfect training partner. The triathlon world cup came to Canada which and saw 4 Marauders competing, 3 for the first time at a World Cup event. And David Hopton came to Peterborough and didn't drop by to say hi. Not cool Hopton. The tastiest race of the week goes to Blair Morgan for winning the Sydenham Lakeside Triathlon a week after finishing 5th in the very competitive Limeston Mile.
