Fern Avenue Track & Field

Inspired from the values of friendly competition and personal best achievements in athletics, our students participated enthusiastically in our track and field program at school. From our practices and track and field days at Fern Avenue PS, to the West Conference for track and field, our students participated energetically, had a lot of fun, and achieved many personal and interschool records.

We were also very successful as a school in the track and field competitions. Out of the 65 junior and senior students that participated at the West Conference track and field meet, 45 made it to the finals. At the West Conference Finals, the level of competition was very high as our students were up against the top athletes of their age group for their event. Again at this stage many of our students did well placing top eight in their event, and five of our students took top 3 medals and made it to the Toronto City Finals that was held on June 12th at Birchmount Stadium.

Our student-athletes representing Fern Avenue PS at the City Finals competed in hurdles (Liam), 1500m (Abby), triple jump (Rory), and javelin (Alexander and Jampa).

Our athletes didn’t get medals in the City Finals, but achieved many personal bests, gained great experience in track competitions, and represented us with pride. Good job everyone!

We would like to thank all the coaches, teachers and parents that assisted in preparing the track and field team. It was great to see the students show a wonderful school spirit at the track and field events and we wish all our students another successful year next year.
