CYO Track & Field
About
CYO Track & Field is a great opportunity to develop running, jumping, and throwing skills, as well as confidence, stamina, focus, and strength – all while having a good time with friends!
The Basilica of Saint Mary is pleased to offer a Track and Field program for students in Grades 3-8 for Spring 2026. Athletes will have the opportunity to train in race distances ranging from 100m to 1600m and in the long jump, javelin, and shot put. Practices will be twice a week on Wednesdays and Sundays starting on March 29.
