HALDIMAND—While the school athletes prepare to wind up their season with the Supermeet for Public Schools that was scheduled for June 5, club athletes are just beginning their series of summer competitions.
Two Cayuga girls represented Athletiques International track and field club on Sunday, May 26, 2019 and used the third annual Brent McFarlane track meet in Cambridge as their season opener.
