Our fifteen primary students braved the elements and headed into Balclutha to compete in their qualified events at the SOPSSA Athletics Champs. Our students showed some great tenacity among the showers and cancelled events. Congratulations to our two superstars who took out placings and have both qualified to represent South Otago at the Southland Primary Athletics Championships on Saturday the 22nd of March.

Brooklyn Landreth (11 Year Old Girls) 

1st  |  100m Track - 15.59 seconds

1st  |  200m Track - 34.09 seconds

Ava Sellars (7 Year Old Girls) 

2nd  |  100m Track - 19.25 seconds

When asked Brooklyn said "I liked it because it was challenging". Ava said "There were lots of fast girls and good that I made it into two finals." A big thank you to everyone that made this event possible, our parent helps for transporting and organising and to Mr Bloxham, Lucy Barker and Milly Lietze who helped out with the high jump when it was running.

All the best for your running events in Invercargill Brooklyn and Ava!
