Richmond's secondary schools track and field program continues to exemplify inclusivity with participation from all 10 secondary schools and nearly 600 student-athletes this year. Renowned for its accessibility, the program engages a diverse group of students, highlighting the district's commitment to making sports available to all.
More than just a display of athletic ability, track and field fosters a strong sense of community and support within the district. A dedicated committee of passionate volunteers ensures the smooth running of the season, which includes two "fun" meets designed to promote both competitive spirit and community engagement.
The highlight of the season, the Richmond Secondary Schools Athletic Association (RSSAA) Championships, saw stands filled with enthusiastic supporters. Fans cheered for every athlete, from the first to the last across the finish line, celebrating the spirit of inclusivity and community that defines Richmond's approach to athletics.
