Once again, thank you to all athletes, dedicated coaches, tireless meet officials, and supportive parents for a fine CYO track and field season, culminated by a great meet to end our CYO season!
A special thank you to all the MEET OFFICIALS who volunteered for the benefit of our runners week after week, especially at the Diocesan Meet, to set up, officiate events, judge the finish line, write ribbons, compile results and do all that is required to run a successful CYO Track and Field program. A special thank you to those who were responsible for areas at the meet: John Randazzo, Head Track Official and Boyd Fottrell, Head Field Event Official, and all those who gave much time and effort to make the meet special for the young runners!
Thank you to our host facilities - Logan High School and Granada High School for their hospitality in providing great facilities for our athletes to run.

On the reverse of the St. Mary Track TShirt this season is a quote from the great Jesse Owens who summed up the value of track and field: "Friends on the field of athletic competition are the real gold of track. Awards become corroded. Friends gather no dust."
Thanks especially to our athletes,
the young people of our church, for their continued and constant
inspiration to us all!
See You in 2010
