The Tasman Secondary Sports Championship was held on Tuesday 14 March in Nelson and the MGC team gave it their best.

A team of 27 athletes made the trip over the hill to compete in the championship, and of those 12 have qualified for the South Island Championships! An astounding success and great effort by all of our competitors. 

Congratulations to Brooke Harper who made a new Tasman Record in the U16 Shot Put of 11.76 m, beating the old record of 11.08m!
