Chatham-Kent police believe there are more than 100 victims in a recent voyeurism investigation in Chatham, Windsor, and London. A man accused of sexually assaulting three teens and one young woman in Chatham-Kent and Sarnia-Lambton in 1997 has been denied bail again. Food banks and service groups in Chatham-Kent are feeling the pinch ahead of the holidays. Chatham's Ethan Jordan won the Hec Crighton trophy as the Most Outstanding Player in U Sports football. The Chatham Maroons lost 7-5 to Elmira, the Toronto Maple Leafs fell 3-2 in overtime to Columbus, the Detroit Red Wings were shutout 5-nothing by the Islanders, and Chatham-Kent's Travis Konency had two assists in Philadelphia's 3-2 overtime win against St. Louis.

When Mark Bomba accepted the head coaching role at Queen's University in 2020, he inherited a men's program that was decades removed from their last appearance on a national cross country podium. For the new head coach the climb back to the top of the mountain had to begin with a strong culture, and his top priority was identifying just one athlete who would buy into the team-first ethos he was trying to build and serve as a pillar for the team in years to come. Less than 24 hours after the hiring announcement was made, an email from a keen Toronto-area highschooler named Roman Mironov appeared in the new coach's inbox expressing his eagerness to run in the tri-colour kit of the Gaels; and Bomba knew he had his man.5 years later, the men of Queen's are now back-to-back USports National Champions, with Mironov himself scoring All-Canadian honours to assist the Gaels in both team victories and Bomba being named 2025 USports Men's coach of the year. Fast approaching the end of his time as a student-athlete at Queen's, it's safe to say that the version of Queens varsity cross country that Mironov will leave behind is a far cry from the one he stepped into 5 seasons ago and that the culture he and his team spent years nurturing into a juggernaut shows no signs of slowing down.Today on the Shakeout Podcast, we're joined by Roman Mironov, the captain of the 2025 USports Men's Cross Country Champion Queen's Gaels and coach Mark Bomba to recap their dominant team victory last week in Sherbrooke and retrace the incredible arc of the program's trajectory since 2020, culminating in back-to-back national titles.Subscribe to The Shakeout Podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts.This episode is brought to you by CanPrev!

When the University of Victoria women's cross country team claimed a team bronze medal at last year's U Sports Canadian University Championships, it marked the first time in 13 years that the Vikes had climbed onto the national podium. Claiming bronze individually that same day was Madelyn Eybergen, a breakout star at the University of Windsor, who had entered the season as a complete unknown. Eybergen discovered distance running only a year earlier after injury woes put an end to a promising varsity high-jump career. At the time, both feats seemed like crowning achievements: a return to form for the once-dominant Vikes program after several years of steady rebuilding under new head coach Hilary Stellingwerff, and an incredible cap to her career as a Lancer for Eybergen, who was set to wrap up her time in Windsor and pursue graduate studies in kinesiology elsewhere.Fast-forward to this past weekend in Sherbrooke, Que., however, and the 2025 iteration of the U Sports Championships would see both the Vikes and Eybergen achieve even greater heights, topping the podium with gold medals in the team and individual competitions, respectively. The biggest difference a year later? That the 2024 bronze-medal-winning individual had joined forces with the 2024 bronze-winning team, combining to bring a national title home to Victoria for the first time since 2001–the year Eybergen was born. Today on The Shakeout Podcast we're joined by the newly minted U Sports Cross Country double gold medallist Madelyn Eybergen and Vikes head coach Hilary Stellingwerff to recap a historic win for their team and talk about how they turned a pair of bronze medals from 2024 into double gold in 2025.Subscribe to The Shakeout Podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts.Huge thank you to this week's sponsor Smartwool.
