Hamilton Win College Athletics!

It’s been a great start to the year for Hamilton House at the College. Hot on the heels of winning the swimming sports two weeks ago, they can now also lay claim to the House Athletics title!

Over two fantastic days of competition, the students were out in force, representing their Houses on the track and field. In the preliminary rounds, the students made the most of competing in as many events as possible for House points, with an equal measure of fun, competitive drive and friendly rivalry. At the end of the preliminaries, Chalmers was in the lead with Hamilton in second place and Wishart following in third.

Finals day brought some fantastic racing on the track in front of the College crowd. With some close calls on the 100m and relays, Hamilton took the lead with Chalmers dropping back to fourth. When all points were combined and tallied, Hamilton retained the lead to win overall. Well done!

Once again, the Year 7 and 8 girls from the Girls’ School joined the College athletes for the afternoon and are to be congratulated on gaining podium places.

The logistics for this event is huge with well over 5000 participants across all events over the course of both days. Our thanks to organiser, Miss Lynne Scutt and the team of staff for a well-run event.

We now wish our top athletes well at the upcoming zone competition.
