Sabers Stalk More Hardware at the AAIS Track & Field Championship
“Run fast, take chances” is the refrain that has suited the Sabers’ Track and Field team for many years. One of the most consistently top performing programs in the league, Spence is a well-balanced and well-trained team stalking points in every discipline: long distance, middle distance, sprints, relays, jumps and throws. In a team championship setting, it’s not about a single athlete winning a single event, it’s takes every athlete on the prowl to hunt down every point. Every performance counts and 7th place finish in an event could be the very performance that puts the team over the top to claim the team crown.
Today will be a great opportunity for athletes who have been preparing all season to take chances and leave it all on the track, in True Blue fashion!
On the track:
