NOBLE Preparatory Academy's founder and president Geno Bullard said he was extremely proud of the way his Spartans athletes performed at the 2026 Fall Track and Field Finale over the weekend.

The one-day meet on Saturday was held at the Canadian Games Park in Thorold, Canada. While there, the Spartans team-mates interacted with some of their former team-mate from Noble Preparatory Academy, who are now attending colleges and universities in Canada.

This was the third consecutive year that Noble Preparatory Academy got the invitation from coach Fife in Canada and they have enjoyed their experience once again. 

The Spartans, coached by Andrew Smith and Bullard, were represented by a total of 12 athletes, who all performed exceptionally well against their international counterparts.

"It was more than just a track meet, it was more of a cultural experience," Bullard said. "It came full circle, letting the students out there, especially those who came from the Bahamas, that anything is possible once you put your mind into it and you work hard."

Bullard noted that the Spartans turned in some personal best performances, which will only bode well for Noble Preparatory Academy as they prepare for the upcoming season in the Bahamas.
