On Wednesday May 8, 2013, the boys on the Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes/Everest Collegiate Track & Field team made history; for the first time they won the CHSL Co-Ed Sectional championship by defeating Cabrini HS 68 to 60.

The meet came down to the final event with Lakes holding a slim three point lead heading into the winner take all 1600m relay.

Sean Thomas (OLL) won both the 100m and 200m while Justin hung on to just edge Cabrini by less than a second in the 400m.
