Steve Case
Steve Case was a strong, powerful runner whose physical stature resembled a football fullback. That strength and endurance allowed Steve to anchor our Men's Cross Country team during our historic domination of the OCAA Running Championships in the mid eighties. Steve won back to back individual OCAA Gold medals in 1985 and 1986 and subsequently led the Men's team to an OCAA Gold Medal in 1986. Steve was also named Team MVP in 1986 at the Athletic Banquet.

Terry Macklin
Terry Macklin was a gifted all round participant and Champion in the early years of Athletics, as the College transitioned from Hamilton Institute (HIT) to Mohawk. Terry was a member of both the Gold Medal Men's Basketball and Golf teams in 1967-68, the first year of Ontario College Championships (OCAA). Terry also participated and led his class in many Intramural sports and was also selected to represent the students on the Athletic Directorate, the early beginning of our Students' Athletics Committee (SAC).

1970-71 Undefeated Men's Basketball Team  |
|
The 1970-71 undefeated Men's Basketball team may be the greatest Basketball team ever assembled at Mohawk. They captured the Ontario College Championship (OCAA) in convincing fashion capping an undefeated season, winning the Gold Medal game 105-60! They not only swept the College competition, they also fashioned wins over Brock, Guelph and Ryerson Universities, by an average score of 16 points! Five of the members of this team, players Dewitt Hanna and Henry Romanowski, Coaches Wes Hicks and Dave Bartolotta and Trainer Ray Jones, are already inducted into the Mountaineer Hall of Fame.
