The tracks were marked, the weather was just right, not too hot, not too cold, a perfect day for our Athletics - Run, Jump, Throw Carnival!

We built on the success of last year's modified format and rolled out an excellent mix of the Traditional Athletics model for our Senior roopu and a developmental skills based model for our Junior roopu. Such a fun day!
