Dear Editor:
Official track and field is over and gone for the 2023 season. Training continues, exams loom and extra, fun track events await us on a few occasions this summer.
As our muscles take a brief break after the 2023 OFSAA (Ontario Federation of School Athletic Association) meet in Ottawa, we must take a moment. Many of us have had the privilege of dedicated mentors and coaches who tirelessly gave up their time to help us develop physical talents that we have been allowed to pursue.
Expressing our thanks to all those who volunteer is vital in reflecting our achievements.
Emmanuel Christian High School’s cross country and track coach, Brian, has encouraged us, helped us recognize our abilities, stretched our limitations more than we thought possible, helped us find strategies and paths to success and without fail has been to our meets to support us and tells us to “dig deep”.
Thanks, coach Brian.
It truly is a privilege to have you as our school’s coach!
Julie DeBoer,
Centre Wellington
