2021 SJRC Athletics Carnival Report
On Tuesday the 13th of July our annual athletics carnival was held at the College. We were blessed with a beautiful day as temperatures topped 22 degrees at 1pm – not bad for the depths of winter. The prize was the CC Adams Shield which is awarded to the winning House.
The day began with the first of six rotations. All students competed in the 100m, 200m, Javelin, Shot Putt, Discus and Long Jump before lunch. Our wonderful staff officiated all events and and assisted with recording, marshaling, & catering. A big thank you to the hospitality students who catered the whole day with the help of our TAS staff. After lunch the 100m finals were contested followed by the double points relays.
Congratulations to Wilson House who won the shield for the first time. Full results, age champions and records – please read on.
The SJRC Athletics Squad to compete at the Lismore Diocesan Carnival in Coffs Harbour will be posted shortly.
