The College’s Athletes' Twilight Carnival took place at the State Athletics Centre last Friday 17 June in wet and windy conditions.

Despite the weather, the spirit of competition displayed by all students, as well as the standard of competition, was extremely high. The determination of the following athletes saw many records broken on the day:

Emilia Reed (Year 7 Normandy) - F 200m - 28.52s (previous record: 28.52s, Hannah Whitbread, 2013)
