Loving God,
Thank you for being the light of the

ANNOUNCEMENTS
ST MARY TRACK & FIELD SEASON
École
St. Mary High School has phenomenal athletes!! It is time to come out and show
how fast you are, how long you can run, how far you can throw, and how high you
can jump! Track has numerous events and students can train in as many, or as few,
events as they want. To accommodate students with busy schedules, coaches will be offering multiple practices each week, with morning,
noon, afternoon, and evening options. Remember, the more practices athletes attend, the greater the chance
of competing at the provincial level, and since track is one of the sports that
competes by age, students will only compete against other students of the same age/grade. Training sessions will begin after the Easter break and the season will be
wrapped up by June 3rd. Any students with questions are invited to stop
by room 144 and speak with Mr. Noble. All students who are interested in
competing in track & field this year need to indicate their interest and
availability by completing a form link on a post in Edsby.
