War Years
Track meets, either against colleges or towns, stopped at the onset of WWI, and there are no records of track and field being competed on campus during the war years. Despite Mount Allison's measured success in the sport, and the efforts the school made to improve its track field in the decade preceding WWI, an intercollegiate track meet was never held on campus. Scheduling was a constant challenge for athletes and institutions, and popularity in track and field was constantly under threat from other sports played on campus.
