We Are CTAC
Congratulations to all who competed at the Bell Canadian Track & Field Championships and Olympic Trials. The title says it all. We shared the track with the likes of Andre DeGrasse, Marco Arop, Lucia Stafford and many others headed to the Paris Olympics. The U20 competition was the final opportunity for athletes to make standard for the U20 World Championships to be held in Peru. It’s not a mini meet! Our crew of 9, including CTAC graduate Caleigh. performed at a level of excellence we have come to expect: Morgan led the way with a 6th place finish and new PB in the U20W 1500m, JackG. and Nathan established new personal best performances in the 5000m, and Kieva and CharlieG. advanced from the qualifying round to the semis, with CharlieG. providing the drama and a “spicy” finish to advance. Congratulations to all!
Year End Summary
It’s the end of an era for some, but for all of us, as we approach the end of our 2023/2024 athletic year it is a good time to reflect on the CTAC experience. The development of athletic skills is paramount but creating lifelong friendships is an added benefit. Experienced, expert coaching, meeting all the needs of high performance short and middle-distance athletes, has been our hallmark since the club was created and continues to be our strength. Consequently, we have a history of success. We are proud of our graduates who have competed for Canada at the international level, and of the current generation already experiencing success at OFSAA, AO championships and on the national stage.
What we offer our members is unmatched by larger clubs: team bonding through activities like our annual Ohio meet, the Florida training camp, athlete support for high performance meets in New York/Boston, and team/family dinners. Parents have told us the fall welcome back coffee and picnic in Sunnybrook set us apart from others. And of course, our annual awards banquet is a highlight on our social calendar.
Additionally, coaches are always appreciative of our parent support, your participation in the life of the club and your unending positive feedback.
Thank you all for your continuing and heardelt support.
