McMaster University Athletics

Ensuring that his final cross country race as a Marauder would be one to remember, Connor Darlington entered McMaster’s history books Saturday. The senior runner posted the best result of his career to complete the 10km course at the U Sports Championships in 30:57.9, easily earning a bronze medal and finishing just a tenth of a second out of silver.
 
Darlington’s medal was just the third ever earned by a McMaster man at the national event, and the first since 1978. He was the first OUA runner to cross the finish line, and was recognized as a First Team All-Canadian for his top-seven position. His accomplishment helped McMaster to a fourth place finish as a team.
