Cato-Meridian Track & Field Honors Local Official

CATO, N.Y. — April 29, 2026

The Cato-Meridian Track & Field team took time to recognize and celebrate an official during their tri-meet against Port Byron and OnTech Charter last week in honor of Officials Appreciation Week.

To show their gratitude, the team created a poster that read “Happy Officials Appreciation Week,” along with all their names. Highlighting the athletes’ appreciation for the dedication and commitment officials bring to high school athletics.

Pictured representing Cato-Meridian is Bailey Planck, a Cato-Meridian student-athlete and Section III SAAC member, who helped present the poster on behalf of the team.
