Athletes at WOSSA had to endure a wide range of weather patterns over the 2 days last week. Day 1 saw 30 degrees and sunshine, combined with gale-force winds all day long. It was a challenging environment to compete in. Day 2 saw relief from the heat, but perhaps too much, as the temperature dropped to singlet digits for a good part of the day, but less wind. The joys of spring track and field in Canada. The weather couldn't hold back our athletes, as they continue to be a force to reckon with on the road to OFSAA.
