School Sport Canada is presenting the second annual Nike High School Grand Prix, a track event in Toronto from May 9-12 involving students from all over Canada. Over 300 student-athletes from 12 provinces and territories will gather for a track and field experience like no other. This is not a national championship, but an opportunity for students from across the country to come together in a cultural, educational, and competitive forum.
Each province and territory in Canada is permitted to send one boys’ and one girls’ track and field team to this event. Teams will have the opportunity to take part in a weekend of activities in Toronto that involve tourist attractions, educational panels, social activities, and a one-day track and field meet to showcase the student-athletes of Canada. It is a one-of-a-kind experience commemorating school sport in Canada.
The aim of the Nike High School Grand Prix is to:
- Inspire excellence in high school athletes
- Unite student-athletes from across the nation
- Celebrate the sport of track and field in Canada
Congratulations to the schools that have been selected to attend the 2013 Nike High School Grand Prix!
