TIGERS TRACK & FIELD TEAM AT PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
ADRIA, Grade 12, WINS GOLD IN 400m HURDLES AT BC CHAMPIONSHIPS!
Grade 12 track & field star, Adria, is the BC gold medalist, Provincial Champion in the 400m hurdles. Adria set a PB (personal best) and a new YHS school record running 64.26. Adria had to miss the 100m hurdles due to a conflict with the graduation ceremony. She is an outstanding track & field athlete who missed out on the past two high school track seasons due to the cancellation of the 2020 and 2021 competitive school seasons. Despite that, Adria holds four YHS school track & field records. She will be running track at McGill next year!

2021-22 SEASON THANK YOU!
Thank you to all of our student-athletes who participated in extracurricular athletics this year as athletes, managers, officials, and student coaches. Without your effort, enthusiasm and commitment, we do not all get to enjoy these experiences. Athletics is never a perfect experience. Each season brings us highs and lows, wins and losses, successes and failures. It is easy to make excuses and blame others for failure. All of these experiences help us all grow and learn. Failure is inevitable and it is those people who keep trying who become successful.
Thank you to all the teachers and staff that support our program in so many ways whether they come out and cheer, help students who have missed class, drive our buses, and more.
Thank you to all our parents who support our students, cheer on our teams, share photos and often help our teams, our coaches and the Athletic Directors. Thank you!
Finally, a huge thank you to all our coaches who dedicate their time, their passion, and give their knowledge and experience to our student-athletes.
The 2021-22 Coaching staff includes both YHS and community coaches: Mr. Bester, Ms. Best, Ms. Angie Duncan, Mr. Jackson Liu, Mr. Carter Walls, Mr. Williams-Walshe, Ms. Atkinson, Mr. Matt Sarmento, Mr. John Smythe, Mr. Oliver Schofield, Ms. Kouzas, Ms. Christine Lee, Ms. Chang, Ms. Olivia Uliana ‘20, Ms. Rachel Cliff ‘06, Mr. Jacob Emerson, Mr. Kitengie, Ms. Brennan, Ms. Samantha Pyke, Ms. Erin Allan, Mr. Ben Dove, Ms. Jan Matthews, Mr. Lum, Mr. Bucifal, Ms. Gina O’Neil ‘15, Ms. Jaxon Slaney, Ms. Haley Shannon, Brianne Wager, Ms. Daisy Lin, Ms. Kat Ortega, Ms. Amel, Mr. Nathan Choi, and Mr. P.
