WELCOME TO THE FIFTH EDITION OF 
THE HOLY TRINITY INVITATIONAL TRACK MEET.
Tuesday June 2 2009
(Raindate is Wednesday June 3 or if Monday is rained out too then the 4^th.  We are also hosting the public school East area meet on Monday.  If both Monday and Tuesday get rained out we’ll do this meet on Thursday. I will email coaches early in the morning if we need to postpone.)

	This meet is the result of a long term plan to help develop the sport of track and field at the grassroots level in Bradford.  As coaches and participants in track and field the Holy Trinity Tigers team wishes to instill in the elementary athletes a love for the sport.  We see this sport as an opportunity for anyone to get involved in healthy, fun competition.
	Holy Trinity’s team has been represented at the high school provincial championship (O.F.S.A.A.) almost every year.  Some of our alumni have gone on to compete at the university and national level in Canada and some have earned athletic scholarships to U.S. schools.
	We would like to express our great appreciation for the donations of labour and materials that we have received from JOHN EEK & SONS LTD.  and LISBON PAVING as well as DUFFERIN CONCRETE.  Without their help we would not have the beautiful facilities we have today.
	
	The meet is officiated by current and former Tiger Track and Field athletes.  Please be understanding with them as they do their best to help the kids have fun.  While we do present a trophy to the winning team, all athletes earn a participant ribbon for their efforts.  

	We wish you all the best of luck.  Have fun!!!
