And just like that, the high school season is over. Thank you to all of the high school coaches and volunteers in London and across the province for helping put together another great season. And, of course a special thank you to our own coaches for putting together a fantastic squad to represent their schools this year. You guys are the best and we have the banners to prove it! In less than ideal conditions, our athletes persevered once again. Our athletes had great performances with many achieving new personal bests. We are so proud of each and every one of our athletes and of how well they did this high school season!
