Birchmount Park Collegiate presents

The Andre Hamilton Relays

(Formerly Birchmount Park Relays)

Wednesday, May 3, 2017 @ Birchmount Stadium

9:30 am to 5:00 pm

This meet is being held to continue the passion and love for track and field that Andre Hamilton had. Andre did not see track and field as a sport; he saw it as a way to develop himself and others into better people. He gave his all to this sport and changed how people see the words dedication and endurance because of his efforts. Andre Hamilton will forever be in our hearts and this meet will carry out his dream of seeing young student-athletes from Toronto pushing themselves to become something more.
