Medals at North Island Athletics!

After putting in a strong performance at the Auckland Athletics Competition earlier in the term, a small group athletes made their way to Mount Maunganui to represent Saint Kentigern at the North Island Secondary Schools Athletics Championships over the weekend.

It was a fantastic day of competition as our athletes managed to haul in seven medals, including four gold – a proud moment for all, especially for those in first place!

For the third year in a row, Year 13 student, Lisa Putt led the group with the most medals on the day, achieving gold in the Senior Girls Triple Jump, silver in the 4 x 100 Relay and bronze in Long Jump.

Year 11 student, Natalia Rankin-Chitar also performed at her best, claiming gold in the Intermediate Girls Shot Put and Discus. Year 9 student, Jade Nomani set the bar high and won gold in the Junior Girls High Jump and Year 10 student, Liam McKenzie took home bronze in the Junior Boys 80m Hurdles.

Well done to all who competed on the day!
