It's hard to believe that the 2024 track season is now over! From indoor season, to City Championships, BC Championships, and National and International competitions, it has been quite the year! As the 2024 track season draws to a close and cross country season approaches, we at Milesplit BC wanted to take a moment to reflect on the past season of some of BC's top high school athletes.

The numbers add up to an incredibly impressive season for the province, but don't tell the whole story. They don't include the hundreds of memories made with your friends, family, and teammates; the few lessons learned along the way; and the infinite fun times had. These are the numbers that matter most, beyond the simple statistics. We at Milesplit BC are privileged to have been a very small part in those numbers, and we look forward to seeing you on the cross country course this fall and back on the track in 2025!
