SOE Track and Field Meet

Saturday, June 5th, athletes from all across Alberta competed in SOE's annual Track & Field Meet at the U of A's Foote Field.  In all, just under 130 athletes competed from five different affiliates including two teams from Calgary, Red Deer, Strathcona, St. Albert and Edmonton.  In what proved to be an eventful day, athletes proved their strength again with many eclipsing their personal bests.  CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL ATHLETES ON A JOB WELL DONE!

The day was once again highlighted by the entrance of the LETR officials and the Torch Run.  Another great reminder of our mission.

Once again, many many thanks to all the coaches and volunteers who made the event possible. Congratulations on a great weekend!
