The second mini-meet hosted by Vic Track and Pen Track,

was held on Saturday, March 19 at Oak Bay High School Track.

The weather was cloudy and cold but the rain held off until we were finished. 13 athletes and 10 adults attended.

Experienced athletes had a chance to improve their performances while new athletes were able to experience what happens at a regular meet.

There were 200m sprints, a 1500 m run and two 400m runs followed by high jump and shot put events.

Most athletes tried three events with some doing all four.

At each event, detailed explanations of the procedure were given to the athletes and parent volunteers so that they understood what was expected of them at a regular meet.

Each athlete was given a participant ribbon and a scoring card which allowed them to record their performances.
