CCS has THE BEST GIRLS! 9th place in the CISVA track meet!!! Fabulous Team!!!

At the CISVA track meet Wednesday, the CCS track team received the trophy for the girls team aggregate meaning that our girls won more points than the girls of any other school.  I am very proud of everyone on our team and we all share in this recognition. I am happy to report that we made 9th place in the meet and that only a few points separated the top 10 schools in many situations.  

Congrats to the following athletes who have qualified for finals on June 10th

60m - Antoinette M
100m - Emily L
4x100 relays - 3, 4, 5, 6 girls, 4, 5, 6 boys

ATTN: CISVA TRACK TEAM Re: RESULTS and QUALIFICATIONS

What a great day at the track for CCS TRACK TEAM!  We are in 3^rd place at the end of day one.  We receive 8 points for 1^st place down to 1 point for 8^th place at this meet.  Currently we have 45 points as a school.

As we have a Feast Day Off School Friday I will not be able to send out information then about qualifying athletes for next Wednesday’s Day 2 track meet on June 10^th.  I can guess and say that if you did not come in the top 4 of any race you probably did not qualify for the 60m, 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay or Mixed Relay.  Only 8 qualify out of 37 schools. I have decided to post the qualifying relays on this blog (http://www.ccsunited-pe.blogspot.ca/) so you have early notice and so that you may plan your transportation to the meet.  There is no Bus this day.  Let Mr. K know of your plans asap!  I can support you finding transportation but please give me early notice.

If you have already received notice that you are to attend Day 2, this qualification information may change your departure plans. Monday I will send out information on paper for qualifying athletes and post the info at the office.

Good Luck CCS Track Team (meet day 1 info)

Well, on Wednesday our school is racing against 36 other Catholic Schools in the CISVA track meet.  Just competing in this meet is a great achievement for our athletes.  If you are with us tomorrow at the track please cheer the athletes on and encourage them as it is quite nerve racking running in front of all the people.  If you are not at the track then please keep us in your prayers.  We are a track team team first and individuals second at this meet so our attitudes need to reflect this throughout the day.  Go CCS!
