Track and Field

Track and Field performance at St. Catherine High has seen tremendous growth in performances and outcomes over the last decade. 

Albeit not traditionally one of our stronger sports the growth has been made possible through:

  • Significant commitment and sacrifice from Alumni
  • Enlightened approach to Sports from school’s leadership
  • Hard work and commitments from dedicated athletes and coaches.

The school has seen consistent and improving performances in the ISSA organized competitions; the Regional Central Championships and the national Boys and Girls Championships. There have also been historic performances and achievements internationally.
