CDS OFSAA Track & Field Championships
Despite the threat of a strike, the Metro Championships continued at full capacity. Each athlete competing for the chance to represent their school at the OFSAA Championships. CDS took its largest ever contingent of 13 athletes to the Metro Championships. As with each Championship, there were many ups and downs.
While some athletes achieved personal bests, others had performances that were disappointing. Unfortunately, this is part of sport and each athlete must learn to overcome setbacks.
Jane Stanton ’18 and Rachel Glynn ’15 qualified for OFSAA as they both won their events at the Metro Championships.
This was Jane’s first appearance at OFSAA in the 80m hurdles. She was poised and excited to participate in these Championships, especially as this was Jane’s goal from the start of the season. Right from her warm-up, it was clear that she was in the zone and ready to race well. She ended up in the fastest heat, which helped push her to run a personal best time in the hurdles. Her time would be fast enough to qualify for the finals. We were all very excited; even the teachers back at CDS took time from exams to watch Jane run livestream. Jane ran extremely well in the final and finished 7th overall in the Province.
This would be Rachel’s last high school race. Here are her thoughts on her final OFSAA Championships.
“I was proud to represent CDS at OFSAA every year in high school as I made it through to the OFSAA finals five times as well as winning the Metro Regionals five times. This year I had an asthma problem and did not do as well as I would have liked in the finals of the Senior Girls 800m, but less than two weeks later I was able to get a time that was better than the first place 800m OFSAA time.” Rachel will be running for the University of Southern California next year.

Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
