Track is a sport that involves running, hard work, and dedication! Some events you can do in track are shot put, 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, 1600 meters, long jump, and high jump. There are still many more events you can do in track. The Junior High Track Team had its first meet on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, at Mater Dei.
