A number of athletes from Yorkton Regional High School took part in the recent 2019 SHSAA Provincial Track & Field Championships in Moose Jaw.
“Yorkton Regional High School qualified 30 athletes to compete at the SHSAA Provincial Meet in Moose Jaw. Though the team composition was very young, the Grade 11’s and 12’s did not disappoint,” said coach Daune Miller. “Primarily through their efforts, the team recorded 22 Top-10 finishes with three bronze medals. This is a testament to the depth, quality and dedication of Raider Track athletes and coaches.
“With the Grade 9’s and 10’s gaining valuable experience and growth, all indications point to great success in 2020 when Yorkton hosts the provincial meet.”
Top performers included a bronze by Garrett Ellis in the Junior Boys 100-metres. Ellis was also part of the bronze medal quartet in the 4X100-metre relay along with Noah Bymak, and Josh Haczkewicz. Lyster Arenas from Melville Comprehensive was the fourth member of the team.
