2021 CYO Track Season Suspended

We are sad to announce that we will not be able to proceed with the 2021 CYO Track and Field season.

After consultation with the CYO Track Section Coordinators, we are unable at this time to safely gather the number of athletes, meet officials, coaches and families necessary to successfully conduct our meets. The necessity to limit our attendance would create problems with safe supervision, particularly of younger children, and limit the availability of meet volunteers.  In addition, with high schools running all of their sports in a compressed spring season, the availability of track facilities for practices and meets will be prohibitively limited for a season.

As it is clear that the pandemic is now easing, we have scheduled CYO sports to reopen again this fall.  The first sport scheduled is track's “sister sport", CYO Cross Country.  Practices for CYO XC may begin on August 15 with the first meet on Friday, September 17.  Check out the CYO Website (oaklandcyo.org) for a calendar of CYO sports and other information for next school year, including 2022 CYO Track and Field.

We all share frustration as the pandemic continues but hopefully will end soon.  Please continue prayers for those who have been effected, especially prayers for those who have lost their lives and prayers for our young people. We pray for those who are bravely carrying us through this time.
