Athletics Carnival & Touch Football

Cowra High Athletics Carnival

On Tuesday 2 May Cowra High School held the annual school athletics carnival. It was a great day of success where a large number of students were involved and participated in a number of events whilst also enjoying themselves and having fun. In addition to our athletic events we also had the 800m relay as well as the boys and girls Top Gun run where Ginger Oliver (Year 10) and Jesse Murray (Year 12) were crowned the Top Guns. 

As well as students enjoying themselves, we also had a number of current Cowra High School records broken. One was by Mackenzie Thompson (Year 11) who broke the Girls 17+ Javelin record of 31.96m with her throw of 34.50m. Tayla Garratt (Year 12) broke two records, one being the Girls 17+ Discus record of 25.63m which she broke with a throw of 34.21. She also broke the Girls 17+ Shot Put of 10.40m with her throw of 11.84m. Mikelli Garratt broke the Girls 13 Discus record of 23.44m with her throw of 24.63m and Ginger Oliver broke the Girls 15 Triple Jump record of 7.96m with her jump of 8m.

Touch Football

This week the Year 9/10 Touch Football teams travelled to Bathurst to play in the NSW All Schools competition. The girls won one of their four games and showed great sportsmanship all day. The boys won 4 of their 5 games which saw them make the grand final. The boys had to tough it out due to having no subs and unfortunately lost to Orange High. A huge thanks to Pete Holmes from PCYC for driving the bus.
