Last weekend twenty three athletes represented Canterbury and the College at the South Island Athletic Championships in Nelson.

Ben Phillips was successful in winning the Under 15 Discus and Shot Put and finishing fourth in the Javelin. John Gerber won both the Under 19 100m and 200m and was part of the team that came second in the 4 x 100m relay. James Coates won the Under 19 Shot Put and came second in the discus. Bradley Jervis was pushed all the way in the Under 19 800m but held off all challengers to win. Jyvhen Duel came away with wins in the Under 16 Para Javelin and Shot Put (both records) and second in the 400m and Discus.

Two sets of results are attached sorted by event and name.

A two-minute video showing several of our athletes was produced by a local amateur film maker and can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcGVYDa_GAM&feature=youtu.be

Next event on the athletic scene will see the boys competing next Tuesday morning for College Cross-country titles in all five year levels over a two lap, 2.6km course around the back field which includes eight jumps. 

Year 10 and Year 9 will compete in P3 and Year 11 and Year 12&13 combined will compete in P4. Parents are most welcome to come and watch.

Results from this event will help select teams to compete at the Canterbury Road and Cross-country Champs in May and the New Zealand Champs in Timaru in June.
