ATHLETICS

 

Region Athletics .

We had 2 student winners and multiple placetters.

Hope Vili and Divine Vili were our 2 State qualifiers – Hope winning the 16yrs discus and shot put and Divine winning the 17ys shot put (unfortunately he did not repeat his Division discus throw, he still finished 2nd but the throw was 10m less than the Division throw (which would have won the Region event easily).

Placegetters –

Jayde Young - 2nd x 4 times

Whitiora Kilmartin – (in a very high performing age group) -a 2nd and a 3rd 

Blessing Tanuvasa – a 2nd

Dwain Tavita – a 3rd

Patrick Buehrig- Calkin – a 3rd

Precious Dawo and Tyler Vanotti were just outside the placegetters and Sebastian Dellosa and Jack Johnson found it tough at their first go at this level.

 

State Athletics Final

Sensational results 

  1. Divine Vili – State champion 1st place 18yrs  Shot put – won by over 2 metres – and this event is not his best – discus is his best event (he mucked up his throws at Region to finish 2nd )

  3. Hope Vili – 3rd Place 16yrs shot put – winner 12.33, 2nd 12.29 Hope 3rd 12.26 – how close.
