Welcome participants and parents!
The University of Prince Edward Island would like to welcome all participants and parents to the 2012 Legion Canadian Youth Track and Field Championships August 15-21 hosted on UPEI's campus.
The annual event welcomes approximately 800 of the best young athletes from across the country who will compete in the track and field meet organized by a group of 100 experienced volunteers. The national championships are divided into two sections-one section consisting of the two-day meet, and the second of the two days devoted to training clinics for the athletes. The rest of the time is spent on presentations, tours, and travel.
The championships are sanctioned by Athletics Canada and are the official Canadian championships for the midget and youth track and field categories. Athletics Canada conducts the training clinics and uses some of Canada's top coaches to instruct and inspire the young athletes.
Best of luck to all participants, enjoy yourselves, and welcome to Prince Edward Island!
