On May 2 2013 McMaster's Cross Country and Track teams hosted the inaugural Ray Lewis Relays. The meet attracted more than 500 high school athletes from the Halton and Wentworth regions.

Relays and a number of individual events were run on the new eight-lane Mondo track. The Mac Mile - sponsored by McDonald's - was one of the feature individual events.

Hamilton hosted the Captain Cornelius Relays for many years in honour of Cap Cornelius who coached at the old Central HS in Hamilton. Among the elite athletes at Central was Ray Lewis.

Ray Lewis was known as "Rapid" Ray. He was proud to be the first Canadian-born black athlete to win a bronze medal in the 4 x 400m relay at the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics.

Lewis was named an officer of the Order of Canada (2001) ; a member of Hamilton Gallery of Distinction (1992), a member of the Hamilton Sports Hall of Fame (2010); and had an elementary school named after him (2005).

McMaster is proud to host the meet honouring Ray Lewis - our native son.

Bishop Tonnos scored the most points over the relay events and was named the overall high school champions.
