It is cross country season again. Please see the tab above for more information specific to cross country tryouts. Primary students will have three tryouts, Sept. 24, 25 and 26. Junior Students will tryout in their regular Phys. Ed. classes. Students in grades 1 and 2 must run 1km (1000m) continuously. Grade 3's - 1.5km (1500km) and Grades 4-6 must run 2km (2000m). Anyone who can not complete the distance is not allowed to compete in the West Division Qualifier meet on October 8 at Etobicoke's Centennial Park. All students are encouraged to tryout if they are interested.
Proper equipment for cross country tryouts includes: running shoes, track pants or shorts, and appropriate shirt or sweatshirt. On some colder days a jacket and hat may be appropriate.
The Mileage Club will be an ongoing running club for those that want to improve their physical fitness and meet goals. Students will be asked to monitor their progress and get rewards for their accumulated "mileage". The club will continue past the cross country meets in the fall and resume in the spring. Milege club is open to all students in grades 4-6.
