CYO Track and Field
Track & Field is back, and the St. Al/St. John team is ready to defend our Championship title! Track is open to all students in grades 4 through 8 who are interested in running, jumping and throwing. Students do not need to have any experience; we just ask that students come to practice with a positive attitude and be ready to learn and grow with us. Contact Eric Souder (esouder@hotmail.com) if you have any questions.
