Congratulations to our Fern Cross Country Team!

Congratulations to our Fern cross country team for their successful year. 

We had over 150 of our students participate in the west cross country meet this year. Each student ran with their personal goals in mind. Some of our students ran for the experience, some set fitness as priority, while others ran for personal best or making it to city finals. Our student/athletes practiced regularly either at the school track or Sorauren park, and developed an improved stamina as well as running strategies. 

Our school did really well at the west conference, finishing top 1-3 as a team in all of the senior races, and a total of 70 of our athletes qualified for west finals. From the west final runs we had 24 of our athletes that moved on to the city finals. At the Toronto city finals on October 26th we had most of our students finish in the top third of their cross country runs. Special mention to our top placing athletes, with Tatiana S. at 11th and Alex M. at 21st. 

Amazing success for the Fern cross country team, but most importantly many of our students experienced running as a healthy activity/lifestyle. 

Thanks to all volunteer coaching staff, and to parents that assisted with so many of the necessary arrangements and organization for our cross country runs.
