  • Paul Rosen Has a Lightning-Fast Glove, Cat-Quick
    Craig McCord is one of the most successful coaches in Canadian sport. At the 2012 Paralympic Games in London, he guided the Canadian team to 16 medals (four gold, nine silver and three bronze). Veterans Benoit Huot and Valerie Grand’Maison delivered multi-medal performances once again while newcomers Summer Mortimer, Aurelie Rivard and Brianna Nelson left no doubt Canada will be a Para-swimming powerhouse for years to come. McCord is a chartered professional coach and an NCCP Level 3 certified coach. He has been coaching since 1986, joining Swimming Canada in 2004. That includes head coach at the 2004, 2008 and 2012 Paralympic Games the 2006 and 2010 IPC World Championships and the 2007 and 2011 Para Pan Am Games. McCord has made an impact at both the national and international levels. With Swimming Canada he developed and implemented a national team development strategy which has made the Canadian Para-swimming program the envy of other nations and a primary reason Canada can continually produce top flight Para-swimmers. McCord’s talents have not gone unnoticed in international swimming. In 2012 he was selected as a member of the IPC Swimming Coaching Advisory Council and was a member of the London 2012 Event Program Working Group. In 2010 he helped develop the recommendations submitted to the 2010 IPC Swimming Sports Forum regarding rule and procedural changes to help improve the sport. From 1989 to 2004, McCord was the Director of Swimming with the Richmond Racers and Richmond Rapids Swim Club. Besides managing four full-time and 16 part-time coaches he designed and implemented training plans for age group swimmers who eventually competed at major events such as the Olympics and FINA World Aquatics Championships.

  • Updated 2019 Completemedia
    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.

    BC Wheelchair Basketball Society 2010-11 Annual Report From the Office: In typical BC Wheelchair Basketball fashion we took to the court in high gear early in 2010-11 and never looked back. The 2010-11 season was one of our busiest ever with expanded programming in both the participation based and high performance areas, enhanced coaching and officials development, and the introduction of our Let's Play program focused on kids 8 years old and younger across BC. Our thanks to Mike Prescott for his work in this very successful program! Our regional programming was also enhanced through the developing clubs in Comox and Powell River. Congratulations to club leaders Karin Kratz and Lindsay Peake for your work in these new areas. BCWBS's success is a direct result of our volunteer leaders, coaches, dedicated partners and hard-working staff. I am always proud to be a part of the community which is BC Wheelchair Basketball. I would also like to take the time to express our sincere sadness in the passing of past athlete, board member, and friend MJ Boudreault. MJ, you will be sincerely missed. - Carrie Linegar, Managing Director Athlete Development / Participation Based Programming: Let’s Play: The Let’s Play program is helping kids with physical disabilities become physically active early in life... and encouraging them to stay that way.
