District Athletics

On Monday 20th August our Athletics Team headed to Aberfeldie Park for a day of track and field competition.  With students from Grades 4 – 6 selected in various events after 4 weeks of trials in Friday morning sport time.

The day started with Field events.  The MPW team were all very gallant in their efforts and some fantastic individual results with the following students qualifying for Division:

High Jump: Lillie G & Kalan R

Triple Jump: Tom O’R, Amelia A & Lachlan T

Long Jump: Dion B

Discus: Orlando P & Mia B

Shot Put: Tate D

We then went into the track events and the MPW cheer squad was very loud for our competitors coming down the home straight.

Well done to these runners who also qualify for division:

80m Hurdles: Stella M, Tom O’R, Lachlan T & Elli H

200m: Lillie G

100m: Amelia A

800m: Elli H

We also had 3 relay teams:

9/10 Boys: Lachlan T, Atticus C, Jake A & Dion B

11 Boys : Cruz G, Josh B, Lucas Mc & Jamie K

12/13 Girls:  Lillie G, Avril N, Elli H & Sinitta Mc

We are extremely proud of all our teams efforts and in particular the display of good sportsmanship from everyone involved.

MPW was presented with the ‘Craig Mottram’ shield at the end of the carnival – a fitting result for all their hard work in trials and practice.

Congratulations to our Aths Team and good luck to those competing on Tuesday 4th September at Divisions.

Thanks to all the parents and of course Fiona & Kathryn A for helping us on the day.
