Athletics

TYS is 4 weeks away from playoff week. Our U13 Boys are off to Ashbury College next week to represent our school at the U13 National CAIS championships. Good luck team. Our Varsity Girls continue to roll in Division 1 moving to 3-1 on the season as they inch closer to a provincial championship birth, while our Varsity Boys travelled to the TCS Invitational last weekend and earned a silver medal.

Huge gratitude to our athletes, coaches and community.

Mr.D
