Men's Full Results

A great day for the Marauders. A win for the women and a strong 5th place for the men. Leading the way on the Women's team was Lindsay Carson with a close 2nd place, followed by Victoria Coates 4th, Courtney Patterson 9th, Steph MacNeill 12th, and Jill Wyman 18th. The men were lead by Lionel Sanders in 5th place, with a gap back to Jeremy Walsh 23rd, Blair Morgan 34th, Taylor Forbes 40th, and Keenan Viney 49th.

A terrific early season performance, with lots more to come in the coming weeks. Most of the team will be off to Chicago next week for the Sean Earl Loyola Lakefront Invitational.

CIS Teams Present
Laurier, Nipissing, Waterloo, Concordia, Windsor, Western, Queen's, Guelph, McMaster, McGill, Laval, Toronto, York, Brock, Laurentian
6 of the top 8 men's CIS teams from last year, and 5 of the top 8 women's teams.

Women
The Mac women are racing a near full squad at Western this year and are poised to wipe the memory of last year's CIS disappointment. With Lindsay Carson healthy and fit, we could see a return of her old dominate ways. Likely to join Lindsay in the top 10 this weekend are teammates, Victoria Coates, Jill Wyman, and Steph MacNeill. However this years team looks deeper than ever, and the placing of runners is likely to shift throughout the year. One thing that will remain constant however is how fast these ladies will be running.

Men
The McMaster men's team has always seemed like District 12 from the Hunger Games. Generally forgotten about in the CIS, but always hanging around. This years team is fired up to change that. With Lionel Sanders up front looking to compete with the best of the CIS, the remainder of the squad will be scrapping for every place. Second at Time Trial, Jeremy Walsh is hoping that the shorter 8k with less hills will swing to his advantage as he tries to prove himself able to run track and cross country. With a different opinion Ryan Tice is "not happy" about Western being a shorter distance this year. He'll be fighting with Walsh and a strong Blair Morgan for second place Marauder this weekend. Then the depth comes to play as the Forbes twins will group up with Eric Barry, Keenan Viney, Eric Labelle and Luke Charbonneau to chase down a top 5 spot this weekend. The year looks bright for this mens team and they are pumped to get it started tomorrow. May the odds be ever in your favour.

We fit it in just under the wire, but the cross country profiles are done and viewable in the tab above Athlete Profile tab. If you liked our track profiles, but care more about cross country, then now you can let your running nerd free and peruse cross country profiles based on results from as far back as 2001.
