House Athletics Carnival

Following three weeks of trials and then a week of lunchtimes filled with middle distance events, the House Athletics Carnival Day was held on Friday 20 September. In the lead up to the day, boys from all year levels were offered multiple opportunities to trial and to receive coaching from our expert discipline specialists.

Like with House Swimming and Cross Country, the program allowed for boys of all abilities to actively participate. The diverse schedule, once again, allowed the elite to demonstrate their abilities, but at the same time welcomed mass participation. Despite the wet and windy conditions, we had two new records set and another equalled with many other amazing performances achieved.

We had 6925 trial entries appear in our database. What this figure doesn’t allow for, is the number of times many of the boys attempted to improve on their trial performances. This figure is undoubtedly a wonderfully positive demonstration of the House system’s ongoing success in general, inclusive of all people and programs within it.

Congratulations to the following Award Winners, Runners Up, new Record holders and Houses on their achievements.
