We just landed back in PEI after another unforgettable Canada Games, and we are filled with gratitude for this experience. 
Here’s what PEI Track & Field accomplished in Newfoundland:
12 Provincial Records: 8 overall, and 4 additional Provincial Age-Group Records.
26 top 16 Finishes, and 9 Top 10 finishes (both our most ever).
23 new personal bests.
721 points on the men’s side (most we ever had), and 541 on the women’s side (second most we ever had).
1,262 total points — a new PEI Athletics Canada Games record!
None of this would have been possible without the incredible support behind the scenes. Thank you to our dedicated coaches, tireless volunteers, amazing mission staff, and everyone else who helped along the way. We’re also grateful to the province of Newfoundland for being such generous and welcoming hosts.
This was truly a Games to remember, and we can’t wait to keep building on this momentum!
