Fred Ing was awarded the 2011 McAlpin Award at the MAC Annual Meeting Feb. 8. The McAlpin Award is meant to focus the spotlight on one member and his or her volunteer efforts of exceptional leadership, creativity, committee participation and consistent service to the club’s social offerings. As chair of the Balladeers, Ing was a strong steward of changes in gigs and different ways to recruit members for the singing group. A friend encouraged him to participate in other social events of the club, and she later suggested that he join the Member Events Committee. Once committed to this steering committee, Ing was assigned to be the liaison to the Junior Events Committee and Teen Committee. During his service on Member Events Committee, and even nowadays, committees can count on him to be a dependable volun- teer for their events.
Jay Maxwell won the 2011 MAC President’s Award at the Annual Meeting Feb. 8. The award honors a member who demon- strates leadership, sportsmanship, and dedication to athletic partici- pation and has inspired other members through athletic achievement. Maxwell joined MAC in 1965 and has served on committees for more than 30 years. He is a regular on the handball courts and a player at the state, regional, national and world level. His first success on the big stage was at the 1997 world handball championships, where he reached the semi-finals in his age bracket. In 2003, he reached the finals. In 2009 he won his divi- sion at the U.S. nationals handball championships. In October 2009, when MAC hosted the handball world championships, Maxwell was instrumental in coordinating an event with nearly 1000 entrants from 11 countries.
Matt Rankin, a former MAC swimmer who won national titles in 1984 and 1985, has been added to the club’s Wall of Fame. Rankin swam for the club for 10 years while a junior and was coached by former MAC Swim Coach Skip Runkle. Rankin was an inspiration and dominant force on the club’s swim team in the ’80s, raising the bar at both workouts and meets. He was a three-time Olympic trial finalist and competed in the Goodwill Games. He now coaches in Arizona and is passing along that drive and inspiration. It was Rankin’s accomplishments while on the MAC swim team that earned him a coveted spot on the Wall of Fame. In 1984, while representing MAC at the national swim championships, Rankin won the 400 Individual Medley. One year later, he won the 400 medley event again, beating past and future Olympians.
Terry Shanley, a new member of the club’s Wall of Fame, was recognized at the Annual Meeting for his accomplishments as a Greco Roman wrestler. Shanley is from Gold Beach and won the Oregon state high school wrestling title in 1973 in the 168-pound class. In fact, he went through the district tournament without a single opponent scoring a point on him. Shanley later enjoyed success while wrestling for University of Oregon at interna- tional wrestling matches and at the national Scottish Highland Games competition. Shanley earned his Wall of Fame status for his accom- plishments in Vancouver, B.C., in March 1975, when he won the Greco Roman wrestling Canadian National Open Championships in the 198-pound class. On his way to the finals, Shanley beat the Canadian national champion George Rickey in the semifinals. Shanley went on to win the title.
