Cross Country

The Queen’s cross-country team crossed the border for their season opener, and they haven’t lost a step.

This July, two Gaels represented Canada at one of the largest multi-sport events in the world.

Three Gaels headed to Paraguay this summer and returned not just with memories, but with special additions to their trophy case.

From July 16 to 27, Gaels distance track runner Miles Brackenbury, MA’25, is set to represent Canada on the international stage for the half-marathon at the 2025 FISU Summer World University Games in Rhine-Ruhr, Germany.

On the evenings of April 1 and 2, Queen’s Athletics and Recreation hosted their annual Colour Awards for both Varsity Clubs and the Varsity Teams.

In honour of the 89th annual Colour Awards taking place from April 1 to 2, The Journal completed its annual Staff Picks for Varsity Athlete of
the Year.

The 2024-25 season was filled with sweet victories and bitter defeats. Fortunately, The Journal was there to capture them all.

In the sport of running, there are few achievements as prestigious as running a sub-four minute mile. In history, less than 2,000 athletes have achieved the mark.

The Gaels came into the 2025 U SPORTS Track and Field season carrying momentum with Men’s Cross-Country championship and fifth place finish for the Women’s team.

The start of the 2024-25 year brought with it many memorable moments for the Gaels. From the ice to the field, this edition of Aidan’s Angle will present my top five sporting moments and performances of the fall semester.

The U SPORTS Cross Country Championships in Kelowna, B.C., brought together the top cross country teams from across the nation on Nov. 9.

Almost all top athletes become the best by playing their sport since childhood. Wayne Gretzky started skating at the age of two and a half, and Lebron James started organized basketball in the fifth grade.

The Men’s and Women’s Cross-Country teams travelled south to St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, where they won big at the Hoffmann Invitational on Sept. 21.

This week student-athletes and staff gathered in the ARC to celebrate the Colour Awards and the 2023-24 season, ‘The Journal’ recaps.

Queen’s Men’s Cross Country teammates and roommates Ethan Rashid-Cocker and Angus Skinner were appointed to Team Canada’s roster for the 2024 World Athletics Cross Country Championship.
