Sports From the Desk Sports
After almost two years with limited sports, our St. Clement’s athletes took to the fields and courts again to take-on some real competition.
Meanwhile on the slopes, SCS’s Alpine Ski teamwas taking on all comers at Mansfield Ski Club. After some impressive results throughout the season, the team reached the CISAA Championshipmeet where Aliya Adair ’25 and Katie Fry ’22 finished first and second respectively, thereby leading St. Clement’s to be CISAAChampions. Congratulations to all of our amazing winter athletes.
While Public Health restrictionsmay have prevented a full sports programat St. Clement’s, it didn’t stop our athletes from regularly stretching their legs, or their arms. At first limited to outdoor pursuits, the 2021-2022 school year sawour students donning their sports gear to hit the turf, the boards, and the slopes. Although initially intramural, the sight of SCS blues and reds serving, spiking, shooting, slaloming, and scoring was enough to raise more than a few smiles behindmasks. From basketball and badminton, to volleyball, frisbee, soccer, track and field, and skiing, our competitive Clementines were back. With provincial restrictions eased, Ontario students were once again able to compete. For St. Clement’s, that meant challenging their opponents in other independent schools from thewider Toronto area. Not only did that return bringwith it exercise, teamwork, and leadership, but it also displayed the passion and spirit that exists behind all of the championship pennants that hang proudly in the gyms at 21 St. Clements Avenue. The condensed season, affectionately knownwithin the Conference of Independent Schools of Ontario Athletic Association as “MarchMadness,” was packedwith skill development, closematches, excitement, and lots of fun. After finishing in a three-way tie for first in league play, our Senior Badminton teamcame away as CISAA silver medallists.
