Athletics Carnival

EMR TRACK & FIELD

Recently the Wantirna Athletics team comprising 35 students competed at the Eastern Metropolitan Region Track and Field. Our very committed and talented athletics team brought home some terrific individual and team results, with the school coming in 6th place in the school event out of 43 schools from the Eastern Metropolitan Region. We managed to finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd in 21 events for the day, which is an outstanding achievement.

1st place- in 11 events

2nd place- in 4 events

3rd place- in 6 events

All students should be congratulated on their outstanding efforts and performances during the day. It was a highly successful day with 8 Wantirna students making it through to the State track and field in seven events.

Well done to the following students. These students will be competing on Monday 23rd October at the State Track and Field Championships.
