With practice cancellations in the beginning of the season as a result of snow and COVID scares toward the end, the Indoor Track and Field athletes and coaches have battled their way to another successful season. Coaches Mr. Ray Convey, Mrs. Mara Hussey, Mr. Brock Silvestri and Mr. Randy Kalman has proved to their athletes that even during a pandemic North Lions can run, hurdle, jump and throw.
