At the Convent of Mercy Academy (Alpha), excellence is not merely measured by the speed of a sprinter or the distance of a throw. It is also measured by the development of its students, many of whom represent the school in sport.

As a mark of how far they have come, Alpha now celebrates a historic season on the track, highlighted by their seventh-place finish at the recent ISSA GraceKennedy Boys and Girls’ Athletics Championships, and at the Penn Relays where they delivered landmark performances under the guidance of a coaching staff led by Kirk King.

The performance that stood out most at the Penn Relays was their second-place finish in the International 4x100m final.
