Maureen de St. Croix

Maureen de St. Croix (born May 26, 1953) is a Canadian middle and long distance runner. She was on the Canadian team at the 1986 World Cross Country Championships, scoring ahead of her teammate, future Olympic medalist Angela Chalmers.[1] Also in 1986, she was the first winner of the Ottawa Race Weekend 10K.[2]

She has continued to run into Masters age groups, in 2003 setting the Masters world record in the 1500 meters at 4:40.92. Her record was displaced in 2009 by former Danish Olympian Gitte Karlshøj running a hand timed 4:40.7, which is essentially the same time as de St. Croix.[3]

She is now a founder and is the head coach of Ocean Athletics, a track club in South Surrey, British Columbia.[4]
