2016 Athletics Carnival
From the Convenor of Track and Field, Kaitlyn Downey
We had another successful carnival last Saturday 2 September held at ES Marks and with only one more invitational to go before CAS night, the competition is heating up. We had a large turn out of students, which was a real positive considering the Year 10 Dinner Dance and the Year 9 camp were the day before! We had a lot of tired participants but still saw some outstanding results. These included:
Opens
Dylan Quirk – 3rd Hurdles
Zac Conacher-Smith – 2nd Long jump
Josh Weinstein – 1st Javelin
Joel Ellis – 2nd Javelin, 3rd Discus
Lewis Thompson – 2nd Shot put
17s
Jack Hardwicke-Owen – 1st 200m, 2nd 100m, 1st High jump, 2nd Long jump
Luca Martin – 3rd Javelin
16s
Barnaby Bickmore-Hutt – 1st Javelin, 3rd in Opens Javelin
Theo Liong – 2nd High Jump
14s
Davvy Moale – 1st Discus
Clem Halaholo – 3rd Discus
Christian Smirnotis – 3rd 100m
13s
James Kambas – 2nd 200m, 3rd 100m, 2nd Hurdles
Dane Towns – 2nd High jump, 2nd Long jump
Alejandro Zanapalis – 2nd Discus
Saturday 9th September is our invitational carnival at ES Marks. Any parents that would like to help on the day, please come and see me at the finish line area and we can put you to good use!
