The annual Canadian Elementary School track meet

Body
The annual Canadian Elementary School track meet is a sure sign that the end of school is near. From sack races to long jumps to the always popular tug-of-war, the competition is vigorous, the team spirit is contagious, and the opportunity for both teachers and students to blow off a little steam outside is essential.

Lady Cat softball signs off for season

Body
The Canadian softball team saw their season come to an end at the hands of Idalou last week in the Class 3A bi-district round. Idalou won the first game last Thursday in Canadian 20-2, followed by a 22-4 victory in Idalou to complete the sweep Saturday.
In their two-game playoff series versus Idalou, the Lady Cats showed spunk in spite of the lopsided score with plays like this one, in which Miranda Nunez (#36) is ruled safe at second base.
