Vic Matthews was our founding coach in the 1970s. The club is named after him, and we present an award in his name each year for outstanding service to the Guelph Victors. This year it goes to Art Kilgour, for his tireless dedication to ensuring the success of the Guelph Victors club since 2016. Art has contributed to every aspect of the club’s events and initiatives, including acting as the chair of the leadership committee, producing weekly communications, bylaw development, facility bookings, virtual victors, and volunteering at workouts, time trials, and tempo runs.

For exemplary service to our broader Guelph community. Although he has stepped back from his role on the Guelph Victors leadership committee over the past year, Brad continues to be a consistent presence at most of our workouts and time trials. Beyond the Victors, Brad organized a book launch at U of Guelph, helped out with thanksgiving day races, and continues to be a dedicated weekly volunteer at our local community parkrun event.

For providing expert guidance and sharing valuable wisdom with members of the Guelph Victors club over the years as a coach. The Guelph Victors have been very fortunate indeed that Tim decided to retire in Guelph and share his vast experience and dedication to the sport with us. Tim served on the leadership committee, planned workouts, called out splits, gave constant encouragement and advice, and organized many time trials for the club.

For years of volunteer service to the Guelph Victors leadership committee as Treasurer. Wendy always provided a welcoming smile at track and time trials, and was eager to volunteer whenever and wherever help was needed. She kept our books balanced and our workouts running smoothly.

CHEERS TO YOU!
