District Track & Field Meet 2026

On Tuesday, June 2, 2026, hundreds of students participated in the District Track & Field Meet at SASCU Little Mountain Field, where students in Grades 4–7 competed in ball throw, long jump, high jump, sprints, long-distance running, and relays.

Organizer Paul Rosman, Principal of Sorrento Elementary, extended thanks to the many coaches and assistants who helped make the event a success by running stations and ensuring athletes were organized and prepared. He acknowledged the Sorrento Parent Advisory Council for operating the concession that was literally cooking all day with the first hot dog requests coming in before 9 am.

Rosman also highlighted the ongoing support of retired Assistant Superintendent Carl Cooper who once again contributed by marking lanes, recording sprint finishes for photo review, and helping organize the 400-metre event. Director of Instruction Jen Findlay was busy all day overseeing operations in the scorer’s tent, while principal Joel Menzies took the lead in getting hundreds of athletes organized into heats for the sprints and relays. Special thanks also goes out to Kristen Crawford, District Principal of Indigenous Education, who stepped in as needed and where needed to ensure the day ran smoothly.

SD83 extends sincere thanks to Rosman and the many volunteers who helped make the day such a success for students.
