The SHSAA provincial track and field championships were held in Prince Albert on June 1 & 2.  The weather did not cooperate at all as athletes battled very cold temperatures, wind and drizzle for both days.  Hats off to the athletes, coaches and all the volunteer workers who performed very well despite the adverse conditions.  There were over 1470 athletes from throughout the province participating  with 91 athletes (plus coaches) representing the Southwest.  Athletes competed in the midget, junior and senior categories in both individual events as well as relays.  SHSAA recognizes the top 8 in each event with medals/ribbons.  The following is a summary of the top 8 SW athletes:
