Students in the 7th and 8th grade who join the Track and Field team begin general conditioning the first week of March in the Parish Center.  As the weather warms, the team moves to the Hubbard track for practice.  Most meets are with other parochial schools in the area; however, some meets are scheduled with public schools as well.  Athletes have the opportunity to participate in 6 to 8 meets, some during the week, but most on Saturdays.

      The coaches strive to make the team experience a positive one which develops and challenges the physical abilities of students and teaches the Christian value of sportsmanship in a non classroom setting.  The qualities of physical discipline, team building, winning with humility, losing with dignity, learning from mistakes, courage and pride of accomplishment are just a few of the important values that will be taught and learned through athletic competition.

      St. Patrick will offer athletic opportunities that allow the greatest participation from the student body.  Additional sports and athletic club activities will be designed to provide students of all ages with a fun, educational and well-rounded school experience.
