Results 2013
At the Australian All-Schools Championships in Townsville on December 6-8 we won 14 medals. This was almost 25% of all middle distance medals and put us ahead of the whole of Victoria (9 medals)! Our previous record was 9 in 2000 and 2008. Conditions were blustery and humid but that didn’t stop us! Look out NSW – YOU’RE NEXT 🙂

State Athletics championships were kicked off with the NSW All Schools (secondary schools), being held at Sydney Olympic Park from October 10 – 13. Competitors on day one had to deal with the hottest day ever recorded in October in Sydney, while scorching conditions and extreme winds rounded off the championships, with the final race, the 14yr girls 3000m, being held as the adjacent car park literally exploded in the heat with some 70 cars going up in flames! Congratulations to all who competed in these extreme conditions, our medallists were:
