Chad Enns
Volunteers in Selkirk are set to host 3 days of provincial high school track and field events. Over the past couple of weeks more than 9 thousand student athletes participated in zone events to qualify for the championships. Chad Enns of Morris is one of 15 hundred who advanced to the 2012 Milk Provincial Track and Field event, and has goals beyond these provincials.
Enns also trains weekly with the Winnipeg Optimist Club and tries to stick to a healthy diet. Contrary to popular belief, Enns explains track and field is actually quite a team sport.
Students will compete in running, jumping and throwing events with the final awards handed out late Saturday afternoon.
