At Saints we will strive to show all students that this sport isn't all about the results, that it is not all about winning. We aim to show them that it's what the spectators don't often see that matters. The hate-love relationship with training sessions, the life adaptations made to improve oneself and the things given up to achieve one's desired results.

The Athletics space is full of rich history as the second oldest sporting activity in the world, giving root to the first Olympic games and standing tall as the backbone of most, if not all, modern sports.
