Baimbridge Athletics Sports

It has been a big two weeks in athletics, with the Inter-House Athletics Carnival and Glenelg District Athletics Carnival being held on 7th March and 15th March, respectively.

We were blessed with perfect weather conditions at Pedrina Park for our inter-house competition. With a few extra events being held on the day, it was a full day of intense competition. Bradman won the male team’s competition to put them in with a chance of winning the day, but once again it was the dominance of the Fraser Girls team that saw the Fraser House claim victory. Fraser has now won the Swimming and Athletics this year, and no doubt will be aiming to claim the Cross-Country Championship early next term. Is there a team capable of stopping this blue juggernaut?
