Condors Varsity Weekly Recap Jan 8th - Jan 14th
Condors have returned to the Court, and Varsity sports are back in action after the holiday break!
Quote Of the Week
"We were excited to have our Condor teams back in the gym this weekend. Women's Volleyball got off on the right foot, avenging an earlier season loss to secure the tiebreaker with Sheridan. Our basketball teams braved the weather for travel and competed until the final whistle. Our badminton team travelled to Centennial and had some amazing results to set them up well, heading into the OCAA West regional championships on February 2nd and 3rd at Conestoga College. An exciting finish to the 2023/24 season is upon us" - Matthew Schnarr, Manager, Varisty & Athletic Operations.
