Burlington played host to the Ontario MTA Track and Field Championships on Saturday, July 26th under sunny warm conditions and the Meaford Coyotes Track Club sent a team of 12 down to this very competitive event.
The team did much better than expected as the Coyotes had just come off a two week “down time” and those competing were doing this competition as a “bonus race”.
It was great to see so many strong performances at this meet as they earned eight personal best performances, brought home four provincial medals and gained more valuable race experience. For many of these young Coyotes, this was their first experience at a provincial championship, and they handled the pressure of the tough competition extremely well.
