Athletics Day

24 May 2024

On Thursday, the 18th April Mullauna College held their athletics carnival at the Tom Kelly Athletics Track. The day began in splendid colour with our House fashion parade followed by 138 track and field events, along with the always popular novelty events. 

 

The student involvement in the carnival was good and in many track events 2 trials were run to accommodate the demand. 

Field events were full of eager students with the standard of jumps and throws very high. 

The day finished with the Staff V year 12 student relay where the effervescent students stormed home in a surprise victory. The enthusiasm and support was electric. What a great day! Our students were a delight to work with.

 

 

 

At carnival end, Bradman House took out the honours of winning the Cup with a total of 3370 points. Freeman House finished in second place on 3096 points, O’Neill House came third with a score of 2404 points and in fourth place was Rafter House with a score of 2194 points. 

A resurgent O’Neill House took out the Spirit Award which included the novelty events and the fashion parade. 

Congratulations to both O’Neill and Bradman for their wins on the day
