The 2024 Central track season concluded on Wednesday, June 5th when the tri-district track championship took place. Over 450 students took part in the track finale that day. 23 Central athletes participated with excellent results! Airlie Robinson defended her crown in the grade 8 girls high jump clearing 1.50m! She also dominated in the 80m hurdles to take 1st. Anna Truong won the grade 6 girls’ 60m Hurdles and placed 3rd in the triple jump, while Pippa Dewart rocketed to a 2nd place finish in the grade 6 girls’ 100m. Hannah Cullins, Freya Kellerhais and Aria Calder placed 2nd, 4th and 5th respectively in the grade 6 girls’ shot highlighting Central’s dominance in this event! Other notable finishes include Vivienne Chenowith’s 2nd place in the grade 7 girls’ 80m hurdles and 3rd in the 100m. Penelope Alexander had a strong 4th place finish in the girls’ 60m hurdles while Lilah Starke captured 3rd in the grade 8 girls’ 300m. Lily Pane McRobb went from the 8 seed to finish a fantastic 2nd in the grade 6 girls’ 800m! The grade 8 girls’ 4 x 100m placed 5th and the grade 6 girls’ 4 x 100m team placed 4th. Pretty impressive given there are roughly 30 relay teams who take part in the relay qualifications! This strong season is a stepping stone to Central’s bright future in track and field! Many thanks to our wonderful coaches Tove Olafson, Andrea Minter and Central’s energetic student teachers Polly Eason, Ashley Hall and Tori Huntington for supporting our athletes every step of the way!

A HUGE thank you to them for their time and commitment.
