Students from around the southwest are braving the elements today at the SWAC district track meet at the comp.

Donning Blankets and Bunny Hugs between events youth are competing for the chance to make provincials and can do so by finishing first or second in their event.

The two day meet has been condensed into one day as to avoid possible snow in the forcast.

Comp Track and Field Coach Mandi Tuplin is hoping to qualify lots of athletes for provincials after 39 of their 42 competitors made it through to SWAC.

"Hopefully everyone competing there has that as their main goal. I originally thought 25, but now I'm hoping 30."

The meet started at 9:30 with events for all age groups of male and female athletes from throughout the region.

We'll update you if there is any change in the status of today's event.
