Track and 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 inter-school records. We were also very successful as a school in the track and field competitions. Out of the 65 junior and senior Fern 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 TDSB City Finals that will be held on Tuesday, June 12 at Birchmount Stadium.

Our student-athletes representing Fern Avenue PS at the City Finals are Liam for hurdles, Abby for 1500m, Rory for triple jump, Jampa for javelin and Alexander also for javelin.

We would like to thank all the coaches, teachers, and parents who 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. We wish the students who will be competing at the City Fnals all the best.
