The students of Gosfield North Public School, from grades three through eight, let their athletic abilities shine on Monday as the school hosted its annual Track and Field Day at Essex District High School.
The students challenged themselves in an array of track and field related events to beat their own personal record and to also earn a top place for the opportunity to extend their season. The Track and Field Day helps the teachers, who coach the team, decide which students will represent the school at upcoming regional competitions.
The event, originally scheduled for May 4, was postponed due to poor weather conditions. Monday, May 7 was a perfect day, weather-wise for the students to challenged their athletic abilities on the track and in the various field events.
