Running, Jumping, Throwing ... And Having Fun

Boys and girls of all ages took part in last week's track camp at the high school.

More than 70 children from elementary school age to high school participated in the Avenger Running Academy this past week.

Peter Dion, a P.E. teacher at Cole as well as the EGHS boys track coach, has been running the camp for four years and he said that this year was the biggest yet.

Kids were able to take part in events such as the long jump, high jump, relay, discus, shot put and turbo javelin.

The hope, according to Dion, is to develop a new generation of track enthusiasts.
