North Star track does well at OFSAA West Regional

North Star High School track & field athletes competed last week at OFSAA West Regional Meet at Western University Alumni Stadium in London. 

The Amherstburg public high school reports that athletes earned their spots in the meet by placing in the top five at SWOSSAA “and to say North Star was well represented is an understatement.” 

Noting “our small town school without a track or nearby training facilities had 15 entries in the meet and of those, four of our athletes will be moving on to compete in nine events at the OFSAA Championships,” which will be held this Thursday through Saturday at the Toronto Track and Field Centre, by placing in the top four in their events. 

Congratulations on a fantastic season for: 

•Jack Schmidtgall - 11th place in Open Para boys shot put with a personal best throw of 6.68m

•Leora Sharman - 7th place in Junior Girls Discus and 11th place in Shot Put      •Autumn Triolet  - 11th in Junior  Girls high jump
