St. Patrick’s Catholic Secondary School has two track stars, but they’re not really similar athletes.

Steven Ajayi, 17, is the fast one, burning up the track in the 4×100-metre relay, 100m and 200m sprints.

Andrew Costello, 18, is the resilient one, relentlessly pounding his path in the cross-country 800m and 1500m events.

“I’m not doing cross country,” said Ajayi with a laugh in the St. Patrick’s library. “There’s no way I could run for more than two kilometres.”
