Relays in the Fort St culture has always been an exciting event to watch and participate in at the end of our school, zone and regional athletics carnivals. This year I competed in the 17+ age group with Alan Vien, Adam Stuart and Damian Feng at the zone carnival, being the first time together since I’m a year older, a day we’ve been waiting to come for the past few years. While we had success in our own age groups in previous years by consistently making regionals, we were by no means ever at a full-strength team of sprinters until this year. We clocked in at a 47.10 initially, however due to an error with the camera work, we had to do a re-run, shaving a few more milliseconds off to reach 47.02. We aim to improve upon this time and hopefully make it to state for the first time at the beginning of Term 3.

Being the oldest year group at the carnival, it was encouraging to see juniors enjoy participating and cheering fellow Fortians on whether they know them or not and keeping involvement during the whole day. I would highly recommend them to continue this throughout the years, both working hard in individual events and having fun in team events.
