Good luck to Maddy McDonald as she heads to Edmonton in a week and a half for the CIS championships! The rest of the team will now be heading into road racing, outdoor track, and triathlon seasons. Upcoming team events include the 2014 Relay For Life, the Highway 2 McDonald's Challenge at Queen's, and Around the Bay next month. More info to come on all those and more. 

Also, on a non-McMaster but track related note, if you did not see the men's 4x400m heat 2 at OUAs, it was one of the most exciting races I've seen, and I highly recommend you check it out here.
