Congrats to all the Pearlgate athletes competing at NL Summer Games this week. A big thanks to our coaches Ian Keats, Allie Rogers, and Grace Mack, who are there coaching the St. John's/North and Mount Pearl/South squads.

Many of our seasoned competitors and newer athletes stepped on the podium today, after a soggy Day 2 of competition. More events, and hopefully more medals to come tomorrow!

Thank you so much to all the volunteers, officials, and the organizing committee.
Special thank you also to Meira S, and Thomas E, and your families for committing to NL Games after the busy week at Legions Nationals!
