WES Gr 4-6 Track and Field Day 2022
Return to Regular Track Meet for GRADES 4-6
The Grades 4-6 track meet took place as we used to before Covid and it was
fantastic! On Monday, June 27 th with cloudy but nice conditions with little to no
wind our athletes competed in their events. 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 at 2:00 pm.
Major thank you goes out to the following:
1) WHS plus one BSS student assisting with our events for the day. We had
22 students sign up and assist us in the six events plus the Open Mile and

Open Mile top three finishers received a medal and a ribbon – 4 th -5 th
received a ribbon. Hats off to all students who decided to run the four laps
around the WHS track after competing in six other events first.
The Open Mile Trophy was donated by Bob and Judy Marchand. We
would like to acknowledge all supporters of school athletics; we truly do
appreciate it.
Only concern of the day would have been the number of students who did not
attend the track meet. It is hoped that all students come to the meet and enjoy
their classmates and wrap up the year by competing in a friendly six events to
showcase their skill development over the year.
See you in the gym and please have a safe and fun summer outside playing
sports, games, swimming and honing your skills!
Mr. Mitchell
