Everyone Loves a Parade!


The West Regional CYO Track and Field Championship was held at Valley Catholic May 12, 2018 for half of the 3rd & 4th graders.  The other half participated in the East Regional meet at La Salle College Preparatory School in Milwaukie.  Top 4 runners in each event from each regional will participate in the CYO Meet of Champions with the 5,6,7 & 8th Graders May 19 & 20 at Jesuit High School.

It’s all in the Handoff!


The third week of Track and Field meets were held at La Salle College Prep, Valley Catholic, Seton Catholic and Hillsboro.  I went to Seton to have a glimpse of their first season of hosting track and field for CYO and it was spectacular.  I focused on the 4 x 400 meter relay handoffs which I think you will enjoy!
