Gr 4-6 Track Meet 2023

GRADES 4-6 Track Meet Rocks WHS!
The Grades 4-6 track meet took place with smoke in the air and a heat adversary
in effect on Tuesday, June 13 at WHS. It was smoky and hot in the morning but
the breeze really helped our students stay cool and compete all of their events.
The afternoon was clearer with no smoke smell but it was hot 29 Degrees
Celsius Hot!

Students participated in a competitive meet in six events (plus the
Open Mile if anyone wanted to tackle the challenge) which made for a full day.
The six events included three running (80 m dash, 200 m race, 50 m Hurdles)
two jumping (long jump and high jump) and one throwing event (distance throw).
The Open Mile followed all the events and took place just before 2:00 pm.

Major thank you goes out to the following:
1) WHS Grade 8 leadership students. We had 22 students sign up and
assist us in the six events plus the Open Mile and we are so thankful for
