ATHLETICS COMPETITIONS
SOUTHERN METROPOLITAN REGIONAL AND REGIONAL AND STATE ATHLETICS COMPETITIONS
The Southern Metropolitan Regional and State Athletics were held on Monday 21 October and Thursday 24 October.
Southern Regional Competition - 21 October
James R competed in 200m and won his heat with a time of 27.89 seconds but unfortunately his time wasn’t quite quick enough to progress to State. Finishing 3rd at such a high level is a great achievement.
James jumped 145cm in high jump placing him 4th out of 7 competitors, again a big achievement.
Angus M competed in the multiclass category. Angus came 4th in 100m, with a time of 21.12 seconds and 3rd in 200m, with a time of 49.93 seconds. He proudly accepted a bronze medal on the podium!
In the discus competition Michael M came 8th out of 15 with a throw of 21.89m. A big throw by Michael! He should be very proud of his efforts and dedication to his training. Can’t wait to see what year 6 brings for Michael’s discus adventure.
State Athletics Competition- 24 October at Lakeside Stadium
Angus M and Gryffin M were invited to compete at the SSV State athletics on Thursday 24 October at Lakeside stadium.
Gryffin threw 4.31m in shotput and finished 8th out of 12 competitors.
In the middle of a windy and hot 34 degree day the 200m race was held. Both boys competed in this event. Angus got a personal best time of 46.52 seconds and came 7th and Gryffin ran 55.33 seconds, coming close to getting his personal best time too. A fantastic end to their primary school athletics journey.
Thank-you to both Fiona and Kristen for your continuous support with Angus and Gryffin on this exciting journey!
