P.A. student-athletes gearing up for track provincials
A handful of young athletes from St. Mary High School are set to compete at this year’s SHSAA Provincial Track & Field Championships in Saskatoon coming up this weekend.
The province’s best will compete at the Gordie Howe Track & Field Complex from June 7-8.
Grade 12 student Morgan Burns will be competing in long jump, triple jump, and pole vault, along with the 100 and 400-metre relay races. She said she’s enjoyed the camaraderie that the sport has brought her.
“I’m very excited because I’ve made so many friends along the way and it’s kind of nice to just focus on yourself but still be able to cheer for everyone else,” said Burns, who has aspirations to continue her track & field career with the University of Saskatchewan Huskies next year.
