Track Day

Friday was an amazing day for 7M and Talbot Trail athletes. We blazed a trail over to Sandwich Secondary and tore up the track. We won the overall title and qualified over 60 spots for the Districts this Friday. 7M had many outstanding track athletes at the meet. Nikki and Adrian throwing shot, Kyle and Shawn flying through the air at the long jump pits, Kathleen doing an outstanding job racing in an age group older, and Helal running distance in the Open category. I was so proud to watch all my current and past students competing with true Blazer passion.

Two exceptional standouts were from our very own 7M Jellyfish Clan. Ashley set the track on fire in the 100, 200 and relay as well as jumping out of her shoes at the long jump pits. She qualified for the districts in all four of her events what an amazing accomplishment. Coaches from Roseland were overheard making devious plans to get her back to their school. I will assure that that will never happen.

The second part of this tandem was Julia who amazed the crowd in all three of her middle distance events. Starting the day off by demolishing the field winning the 1500m by at least 100 m's. She hit the track again for the 400 m and didn't slow down easily finishing first. In her final race of the day Julia did it again finishing with the fastest 800m time among all 8 of the meets this year. The race officials were so amazed they even checked her spikes thinking she must be cheating. They soon realised that she was just plain "FAST".

I am so proud of all my student athletes, not only did they perform incredibly but the represented Talbot Trail with class, dignity and impeccable behaviour. Let's wish Julia and Ashley all the best at the Districts!!!!
