Track and Field

MHS Dominates West Conference Track Meet

Merivale's track and field team braved the wacky weather yesterday, May 16,  and posted many many impressive results at the West Conference Championships!

Proud Coach Foottit is quoted below:
"Some highlights of the day included the return of Adam Palamar after more than a year off due to injuries, Lindsay Spoerri finally defeating her rival from Glebe in the 200m, Daniel Desgrossilliers dominating his events with 3 wins, and Mahad Osman, a grade 9 competing against grade 10s winning the 800m!  The day was capped off with MHS dominating the 4x400m relays- the marquee event of any track meet."

Pictured is Adam Palamar competing in the Senior Boys 1500m race (courtesy of the Ottawa Citizen). He finished the race with the record of 3:55:88!!

19 Merivale athletes will compete in the City Championships next Wednesday or Thursday at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility.

Getting to Know Gatineau

Grade 9s brave rainy weather to learn about Geography

Merivale High School's grade 9 geography classes participated in our annual field trip to Gatineau Park on May 8, 2012. Mr. Duquette, Ms. Cimpello, Mr. Zervas and Ms. Gesior's students braved the rainy weather to hike three of the park's trails: Champlain, King Mountain and Pink Lake, while learning and seeing first hand some of Canada's great geologic features.
