Two New Grads Headed to U of T
Two talented and recent St. Michael’s College School (SMCS) graduates are set to become teammates again this fall at the University of Toronto (U of T). Tobias Sealy ’25 and Dallas St. John ’25 have both made commitments to U of T’s track and field team, taking with them their athletic expertise and promising academic journeys. “Dallas and Tobias are exceptional individuals on and off the track,” Stephen Antolin ’05, teacher and track and field coach, says of the two honour roll students. “Their incredible talent is only surpassed by their incredible dedication and determination. They show up every day determined to push themselves to new levels and as a result, they have each achieved a remarkable amount of success as individuals and as members of this team.” Tobias Sealy – U of T, HumanitiesSealy began competing in track and field in Grade 2, where he found early success securing a city championship with his school’s 4×100-metre relay team. However, after coming to SMCS in Grade 8, Sealy focused more on soccer and basketball. It wasn’t until he reached Grade 11 that his focus shifted and he decided to pursue track and field. “My journey has presented its share of significant challenges, each of which has contributed to my growth and resilience,” says Sealy. “Early in my high school career, I faced the unexpected setbacks of the COVID-19 pandemic, which unfortunately led to the cancellation of my Grade 7 and 8 athletic seasons. Just as I was eager to return in Grade 9, I was diagnosed with stomach ulcers that required surgery, resulting in significant weight loss and the loss of that entire track season.” Once cleared, Sealy began competing in track again in Grade 10, earning gold in the 200-metre and 4×400-metre and silver in the 100-metre, 400-metre, and 4×100-metre at the CISAA championships.
