Congratulations to the athletes who competed in the Sidney Track Meet. We had a strong Alberni Valley showing!  The draft results are posted at www.victrack.ca 

A big thank you to the parents who helped out at the shot put. We really need everyone to put in their time there!

Our meet is next - please pop into the track room this week to sign up for the many jobs on both Sat & Sun.

Our club has the responsibility of running the Shot Put event at EVERY Vancouver Island meet.  Thanks to the handful of  parents on Thursday who showed up to learn how to do this.  

We will be having another training session on TUESDAY, APRIL 14TH 530-630PM.  Join the group at the shot put pit at the south end of Bob Dailey Stadium. It isn’t a hard job and it will be easier when you take some time to be shown the rules.

I’ll see you there (I need to learn too!)
