“The OFSAA Track and Field Championships is one of the largest and most prestigious high school track meets in North America. Hosting OFSAA is an opportunity to help all participating student-athletes continue to experience high-level track and field at a first-rate event. We look forward to showcasing the newly updated Alumni Stadium and Western’s beautiful campus, as well as all that the London and the TVRA region has to offer.” Todd MacKay & Vickie Croley, 2024 OFSAA Track & Field Organizing Committee “OFSAA is an incredible platform for athletes to challenge themselves against some of the best athletes in the world for their age groups, and an important step for those athletes who wish to pursue their sport at the next level. To this day some of my favourite memories come from OFSAA, and it’s there where I got my first taste of high-level competition. I wouldn’t be where I am today without my experiences at OFSAA. I can’t wait to watch OFSAA next year, here at my home track at Western University in London.” Damian Warner, Olympic Champion, 2024 OFSAA Track & Field Ambassador
