It is our privilege and pleasure to recognise and congratulate the students listed below for their incredible performances on the track and in the field . 

Given the level and intensity of the competition on the day, it takes a lot of sweat and determination to finish in the Champions' circle, so their achievements are worthy of our applause. 

There were two records broken at this year’s Inter-House Athletic Sports:

• Firstly, Jack Penman  broke the Senior Boys’ Triple Jump record with an incredible hop, skip and jump of 12.22 metres. His distance added over 30 centimetres to the previous record of 11.89m, set in 1987!
  
• The second record broken was the Intermediate Boys’ 200m. Shay Syme  shaved 0.11 seconds off the 2005 record of 23.86s with his impressive run of 23.75s.
  

Mr. Ellwood’s Intermediate Boys’ Javelin record, set in 1990, remains secure for one more year!
