Paula Schnurr is just moving into her new office due to the official position she was just given at McMaster - she's only been on campus since the 9th.
Paula is largely responsible for middle/long distance track events like the 800m and others up to the 3k. The unofficial sprint coach is named Eric Enders and the short distance track program parallels the cross country season before the two programs join in January and compete through the indoor season.
If you want to try out for either team - check the dates available on the ath/rec site.

This list will populate closer to the end of August. Usually there is the introductory team meeting during frosh week, I think it's on the 7/8/9th this year - usually Wednesday - and then the cross country team holds their try-out on the Friday.
I don't quite remember how the sprint-track schedule works out for try-outs. Eric Enders' email is
[email protected] and he should have a much better idea closer to September.
I'm sorry I can't help with weightlifting much - but if you have any other questions about track I can hopefully answer them.
