Raft River Elementary School just finished a very successful track and field season. It is with the continued support of our teachers, parents and coach Dan Coleman that makes the program so successful.
The school had over 100 participants attend the intermediate (Grades 4-7) elementary track meet at Clearwater Secondary School. Of those 100, 61 students qualified to move onto the Zones track and field meet in Kamloops and of those 61, 24 advanced to the District track meet. Many Raft River students qualified in more than one event for Districts.
In addition to the intermediate track and field program, Raft River held a primary track and field meet. It was a fabulous event, masterfully planned by Skye Buck. Teachers, parents, college students, high school students and the school's intermediate track and field students volunteered to make the track meet a success.
Aggregate winner for the Zones for a second year in a row was Mason Wadlegger.
