Timaru Hosts South Island Champs at the All Weather Track at Aorangi Park.

The SISS Athletics Championships were held in Timaru on 24 - 25 March at Aorangi Park All Weather Track. Twelve students represented Roncalli College. Everyone competed to their best ability and many achieving personal bests against South Islands top Secondary School athletes. Congratulations to Brittney Young who finished 3rd place in the under 19 girls 100m hurdles.

A big thank you to Richelle Cannell for managing the team and all the amazing volunteers (students and adults) who assisted during the weekend. Events like this would not happen without these people giving up their time to help officiate. Well done to all involved in what was a great weekend of athletics.
