Greenwood Students Try-A-Tri

6/12/2019

Throughout the semester, Grade 12 Exercise Science students learned about strength training methods and principles. At the end of the semester, their short culminating activity was to build a training program to help them prepare for the Milton Subaru Triathlon “Try-a-Tri”. They worked individually on the project but also had the opportunity as a class to do some swim training to prepare for the big day.

Sunday, June 2 arrived and it was time to compete in the triathlon. This year, it was a cloudy, chilly morning and the lake was only 62 degrees. The students were brave and embraced the day with smiles on their faces. One of the students competing in the triathlon, Ailis McKeag ‘19, had her mom participate alongside her. It was great to see the mother-daughter duo perform together!

In total, the students swam 375 metres, biked for 10 km and ran for 2.5 km. Every student crossed the finish line and their teacher, Ms.
Herod, was extremely proud of them! They all ventured out of their comfort zone and persevered, despite the cold weather and chilly water!

Congratulations to all those who participated:

Caitlin Barnett ‘19
Helena Brink ‘19
Kaitlyn Chalmers ‘19
Louise Flaherty ‘20
Megan Maniglio ‘19
Ailis McKeag ‘19
Emma Pritchard ‘19

We acknowledge with gratitude the Ancestral lands upon which our main campus is situated. These lands are the Ancestral territories of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Anishinabek and the Wendake. The shared responsibility of this land is honoured in the Dish with One Spoon Treaty and as settlers, we strive to care for the land, the waters, and all creatures in the spirit of peace. We are responsible for respecting and supporting the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. When away from this campus we vow to be respectful to the land by protecting and honouring it. We will create relationships with the people and the land we may visit by understanding the territories we enter and the nations who inhabit them.
