Superb Results at the South Island Athletics Champs

Storms, travel disruptions and some impromptu long car rides, didn’t deter the team who picked up five medal placings:

• Dan O’Brien: 2nd 200m Open Steeplechase, 8th 400m (under 19)

• Ed Ferro: 10th 200m Heats, 11th 100m Heats (under 19)

• Alex Walker: 1st 100m Final, 2nd Shotput, 3rd 200m Final (under 16)

• Angus Hollows: 3rd Javelin, 4th Discus, 5th Shotput (under 15)

• Henry McKay: 8th 400m, 10th Shotput (under 15)

The boys did the school proud. It was great to see them supporting each other and fellow competitors, making lasting memories and friendships.

The athletics team will now gear up for Nationals in Hastings in December.
