Abbie Smith also performed well with a 2nd in the 800m, 3rd in the 200m and Long Jump.
Our biggest number of students yet (84 in total) headed to Homebush to compete in the ISA Athletics Carnival. There were some great individual and team performances. Jess Stone had a brilliant meet placing 1st in the High Jump, Triple Jump, Shot Put and 400m. Kyla Fitzgerald placed 1st in the Shot Put, Discus and Javelin.

And to top it off our Junior Girls team of Jess Stone, Lilly Hofer, Lindsay Hallam and Ava Simos blitzed the field to come home with gold in the relay.
In the CIS Athletics Championships, 15 students went back to Homebush over the October school holidays and won several places. Charles Crowley won the 18 year boys 100m Hurdles and Jasmin Strange won the Triple Jump and Long Jump. Other places were achieved in 100m and 200m as well as our Junior Girls relay team winning 2nd.
