The Winter Championship Series started in January of 2020 with the idea to keep students and staff active during the winter/colder months while everyone is indoors. The Winter Championship Series brings students together across multipole grades with the chance to compete with and against each other in friendly competition where medals are awarded for the top three finishers in each event.
All staff and 4th to 8th grade students are allowed to compete in the games for medals. The younger grades K to 3rd grade will compete against each other, but will not compete for medals. All running events are officially timed with a camera recording the athletes as they cross the finish line for the most accurate time. Also, staff members that earn a gold medal in an event will be able to defend their title even if they leave the school, however that rule does not apply for students.
Medalists:
Each athlete who medals in the games will receive an orange rose that represents the spirit of competition though the collective community.
Winter Championship Events:
Short Track Running: Dash, Sprint, Run, Mixed Relay, Archrival, Multi Sprint and Sports Cross.
Blue Ribbon Qualifiers:
These are qualifiers from lower grade bands that meet the time, distance and/or rank to compete with the 4th to 8th grade students in the Winter Championship Series.
Staff Members:
Staff are able to compete with the students, but only one staff member can be entered for each event. Staff can choose to compete with each other, but the games competition criteria must be met.
