2023 STM May 16-17, 2023
STM Athletes, coaches, staff and volunteers, thank you for filling the 2023 Special Track Meet with joy, perseverance, and positivity!
"You can hear it in their cries and shouts of joy and you can feel it in your heart when you watch how hard they try and see how much this means to them. How important it is to belong and to push yourself and to be cheered on for trying because trying is really important. " -Connie McLean, STM Registration/ Volunteer Coordinator

SESAA Special Track Meet
POINTS TO REMEMBER
- Students will be divided into four categories: boys and girls Peewees (Grades 3-5) and boys and girls Bantams (Grade 6-7). Anyone with a Special Education designation and Education Assistant (EA) support is eligible to compete.
- A team entrance fee is being charged to cover some of the costs of running this event.
- There will be a coaches’ meeting at 9:00. Please try to have your athletes ready at this time. Remember to have your athletes wear school jerseys.
- Individual track events (60m, 150m, 300m) will take place first. Then students will rotate through the four field events with their age/gender group (PWG, PWB, BG, BB). Please stay with your group so it is easier for our event coordinators. Then we will have a lunch break, followed by relays.
- Remind students to bring money for the concession.
- Each competitor will have two attempts at a field event.
- Different coloured ribbons will be awarded at the end of each event at the event location. Ribbons will be awarded for each heat. No final heats. Each ribbon says “Winner.”
- Each participant needs to have a safety pin on their jersey so they can pin on their ribbons.
- In the marshalling area, students will be grouped into able-bodied heats and wheelchair heats. If a competitor needs his Education Assistant (EA) to run with him, a lane will be made available.
- Nametags are not necessary but are helpful for track officials.
- In the track events please instruct your athletes to remain in their lanes after the race until they receive their ribbons.
- There will be a line of flagging held to clearly indicate the finish line, coach your athletes to lean forward into the tape.
