ACC Athletics Championship
On Thursday 24 February, our athletics team competed at Lakeside Stadium in the ACC athletics carnival. Overall, St Bede’s finished fourth in Division 1 - a great effort given there were 13 ACC schools competing on the day. Attached are the final results from the event, as well as St Bede’s individual results.
A total of 48 St Bede’s students competed in individual events and a further 10 competed in relays. While we are extremely proud of all the students who represented the College, it is worth highlighting the individual performances where our students won their event below. A special mention to Tarkyn O’Leary, who came 1st in both of his individual events for the day.
- Will McKean – Under 13 80m Hurdles
- Oliver Conrad – Under 14 Discus
- Martin Steyn – Under 14 800m
- Xavier Hobkirk – Under 15 High Jump
- Tom Raymond – Under 15 Triple Jump
- Max Hoult – Under 17 110m Hurdles
- Tarkyn O’Leary – Under 17 800m and 1500m
- Alex Gibson – Open 800m
- Jayden Kelly – Open High Jump
There were also many instances where our students placed 5th or 6th, but personally achieved their best times or distances. Whilst these efforts often go unrecognised, they are just as important as those who won their event. It is an example of our students determination and willingness who represent the College, even if they aren’t the best at it or have trained as much as their opponents. I was very encouraged to see how many students were eager to participate in the carnival this year.
