Record Broken at South Eastern Zone Athletics!

After two demanding days in unseasonably cold and wet weather last week, our combined Year 7 and 8 College and Girls’ School athletics team turned in some fantastic results at the South Eastern Zone Athletics event! This was despite the event being called off part way through the first day when the rain took hold! The students returned the following day to equally tough conditions!

Medals were won and a record was broken as the students ran, jumped and threw to gain places on the podium.

Year 8 Girls’ School student, Olivia Rooney’s hard work and training paid off as she streaked past the finish line to break the 800m record with an outstanding time of 2.38.79 - she also placed first in the 1500m race! Fellow Year 8 Girls’ School student, Jade Nomani also retained her high jump record, having blitzed the jump last year.

Well done to all the students and we wish them luck – and good weather! – for the Inter Zone Athletics this week!
