Track and Field Continues

Last week we were able to go outside quite a few times to practise may events.  Thanks to all those who gave it their all.  Unfortunately, I can only recommend a short list to the track coaches who will then meet with all recommended grade six students and determine the team for each event.  I was surprised that a few of our students clearly sabotaged a particular event.  Whether or not you represent St. Gabriel School on the team (I do not force anyone to join the team who doesn't want to), it is expected that you do your best as it is our gym class during which you earn marks toward your last report card.  We also have a few very talented athletes who are not interested in joining the team.  Tomorrow, weather permitting, we will complete long jump trials and have a run-off of a few boys for the 200m sprint.  Be prepared with appropriate outside gear!
