                    Team South East had a fantastic showing at the Saskatchewan Summer Games hosted in Estevan, Sunday, July 24, to Saturday, July 30. With a final day surge in medals on July 30th the team jumped up from approximately fifth in overall medal standings to third overall with 53 followed closely by Prairie Central. Saskatoon earned 113 medals total and Regina earned 74, while the Southwest (50), Parkland Valley (32), Lakeland (30), Rivers West (27), and North (13) rounded out the final spots on the standings board.

                Overall Team Southeast took home 17 gold medals, 14 silver medals, and 23 bronze medals. The Joe Griffith Trophy was also earned by Team Southeast, which was presented a few days following the Games. This is awarded to the district team who shows the most improvement from their final flag point standing at previous Saskatchewan Games. The comparison is made on a winter to winter and summer to summer basis. Team South East was awarded this at the last winter games as well.

                Contributing to the success of the games were local athletes competing in the miniature Olympic style event hosted every four years where the top athletes in the province within varying age categories come together to compete.
