Westwood Elementary School’s championship streak at the Knights of Columbus indoor track meet extended to a baker’s dozen April 24 at the C.A. Nesbitt Arena as the Vikings finished with a grand total of 164 points, 55 more than the second-place Riverside Rams.
To put the length of the streak into perspective, students graduating from high school this year weren’t yet in kindergarten the last time the Vikings didn’t claim the trophy.
Deerwood Elementary School was knocked out of the runner-up position it had occupied for four straight years this time around and finished fourth with 63 points, 14 behind the Burntwood Bobcats who moved up one position from last year.
Juniper was once again fifth with 41 points. Wapanohk Community School was sixth with 11 points and La Voie du Nord seventh with nine points as the sixth- and seventh-place schools swapped spots from last year.
The Juniper Jaguars were tops in shot put with a grand total of eight points, while Westwood finished first in the other six categories: high jump, 300 metres, 50 metres, co-ed relay and 4x100-metre relay, as well as the 1,000 metres, in which they were tied with Burntwood for the top position.
