If there’s a group of carolers on your doorstep this year, it might just be the cross country team. For more than 15 years, the Gaels squad has sung Christmas carols to raise donations for Martha’s Table, a Kingston-based non-profit organization that serves nutritious low-cost meals to those in need. One...

They won national gold and bronze on an outdoor trail last fall. Now, Julie-Anne Staehli and Victoria Coates could reach similar heights indoors.

Of all the awards she’s picked up over her cross-country career, Victoria Coates is proudest of one that came in the classroom. The fifth-year Gaels runner, who transferred to Queen’s this year from McMaster, picked up an unprecedented double in 2012. In addition to a CIS bronze medal, she won McMaster’s...

Skill and will uphill

Written on September 13, 2013. Posted in Sports.

Steve Boyd hasn’t run competitively for Queen’s since 1987 — but he still gets plenty of exercise on race days.

Multi-sport status impeded

Written on March 8, 2013. Posted in Sports.

Queen’s athletes can’t cross over like they used to: it has to be one sport or the other. Queen’s has a rich history of football players competing in track and field with mild to exceptional success. Sheridan Baptiste, a Gaels wide receiver in the 1980s, holds the school record for both 60m dash and...

Can’t catch the Lancers

Written on October 30, 2012. Posted in Sports.

Steve Boyd thought this was going to be the year for men’s cross country.

Not an uphill battle
