Thank You To All for a Great Performance Trial Event

Wow, what an event! It is truly remarkable what you were all able to accomplish this past weekend considering the current pandemic and public health orders. Thanks to all of the athletes for their amazing efforts in their events and willingness to follow the safety rules. Thank you to all of the parents and volunteers for your time and effort making it all run so smoothly. A huge thank you to the track meet committee for countless hours put in navigating the numerous national and provincial bodies and organizations to safely get our club back to competition.

We all proved this can be done safely and the board will start looking into several more mini-trials over the next couple of months which will include more throwing, jumping and track events.
