The high jump has been dropped as an event for the upcoming elementary track and field meet for both the Algoma District School Board and the Huron Superior Catholic District School Board.

The Boards issued a joint statement today indicating that the high jump has now been classified as a ‘high risk’ event through Ontario Physical Education Safety Guidelines, due to the potential risk of injury to students.

It’s based on that information and guideline that the Boards have decided to no longer offer the high jump competition at the elementary level—in remains in place at the secondary level.
