This week, we had several first time track athletes from James Cardinal McGuigan Catholic High School compete in split squad meets at the Lynx Indoor meet at York University and at the St. Mike's "Snowball Relays" Track and Field Invitational. This was our first outdoor meet of the season, and we competed against many of the schools that we will see at Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA).
These meets had a limited number of events, so we sent split squads over the two days.
McGuigan won a total of 18 medals!
