Still on track for provincial medal

Top five finishers at SOSSA advance to regional qualifier

Student-athletes from the Niagara Region have cleared the second-tolast hurdle in their quest to end the high school track and field season with a provincial medal.

The only thing standing between them and the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations championship June 8-10 in Ottawa is the South Regional qualifier next week in Brampton.

On Thursday, the Southern Ontario Secondary Schools Association (SOSSA) championship wrapped up after two days of competition at Welland Centennial Secondary School in Welland. The top five individuals advanced as did the top five relay teams.
