Dennis Barrett: Your Coach Podcast 11
Great conversation with a veteran coach who has experienced it all. IFYKYK. DB is the GOAT. This year is his 40th year coaching at McGill.
Dennis began coaching at McGill in 1984 but took a one-year sabbatical in 1985 to compete for Canada on the international bobsled circuit. In 1988, he was also appointed coach of McGill's cross country squads. Barrett has been named the Quebec conference coach of the year seven times in track and field and seven times in cross-country. A native of Kingston, Jamaica, he grew up in Dollard des Ormeaux, a suburb of Montreal, and received a track scholarship to New Mexico State University. In 1979, he transeferred to Austin Peay State University in Tennessee and graduated Magna cum Laude with a B.Sc. in Health Sciences & Physical Education (1981). Barrett continued his education at McGill where he quickly became an All-Canadian and MVP for the Redmen track team in 1982-83. A team captain that year, he set a number of school track records, leading the team to the provincial title, and qualified for the CIAU national championships in Toronto.

Leslie Gold: Your coach podcast 10
This is the McGill Reporter article that contained the famous photo:
Heroic gold for Gold
Lying on the track is Leslie Gold, collapsed at the end of the 800-metre relay race, won last month by Gold, and, from left to right, Elaine Penny, Carly Moher and Stephanie Welsh. Earlier that day, Gold didn't complete two events, due to an asthma attack but rallied her strength to compete in the relay. This is the second year in a row that McGill has won the event at the Canadian Inter-University Athletic Union Track and Field Championships. All four women were named All Canadians by the CIAU.
