2025 Athletics Team Report

Monash Division Track & Field Championships

On the 5th September, 80 Wheelers Hill Secondary College students from years 7-12 competed in the Monash Division Athletics Championships at the newly resurfaced Knox Athletics Track. The overall enthusiasm and participation from all athletes were impressive and essential to the success and results we achieved.

Wheelers Hill finished in 2nd place overall, which is outstanding. This was due to fantastic results in the Junior, Intermediate and Senior competitions, finishing 2nd in each of those categories. There were 26 students across 36 different track and field events that were awarded winners and therefore the opportunity to compete at Region level.

Congratulations to Bree Taylor (year 8) who was awarded the 14Yr Monash Division Age Group Champion.
