Athletics - Term 1 2011

Athletics Championships 2011

The day was forecast for rain, but it managed to stay away and give us a great day for track and field.  Some students competed in nearly every event and there were some very tired competitors at the end of the day.

Congratulations to all of the students who entered and to the staff that ran events on the day, everything ran very smoothly.

The Houses were out in force with Dominion especially showing a lot of strength after a not so good showing at the Swimming.

4 records fell on the day:
