Mr Nathan Breen – Sports Coordinator<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this term saw a fantastic celebration of Eastwood\u2019s athletic talent. One hundred and eighty students signed up for a range of different championship events while almost every student can say they participated in some way at our 2024 Athletics Carnival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The school piled into the grandstand to watch our championship 100m runners – the fastest runners in the school. Ashton Sawtell in the U\/16s threw down the first really solid time of the day at 12.02 before Robert Tannous in the U\/14s ran 11.87. They would feature again later in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Carnival continued with championship competitions happening concurrently with non championship competitions. Students competed in Long Jump, High Jump, Shot Put and the 200m while we also ran strictly non championship 100m and Relays on the back straight. Congratulations to Michael Ajaka who in this period broke the College Shot Put record in the U\/17s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The non championship events were heavily participated and teams collected points quickly. Elliott, Leopold and Maloney all managed to collect between 1420 and 1445 points while Cusack put them to the sword managing an enormous 1539. Congratulations to Year 7 Cusack who topped the point score. Year 9 Elliott, Year 11 Cusack and Year 12 Maloney also did well in accumlating House points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After some soul searching following the Swimming Carnival, Leopold fought back in the championship events finishing a close 2nd in this pointscore – led by the U\/16s. This was not enough to topple Maloney\u2019s dominance in these events – their U\/13s truly showed the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the day came to a close the 4 fastest runners from each House battled it out in a 4x100m relay. Here Maloney was able to beat Leopold in a close fought race, Cusack and Elliott rounded out the places. Finally, the Eastwood Gift was upon us – our fastest runner from each age group and our next 5 fastest all qualify for our handicap 100m sprint. Robert Tannous was the back marker, with our fastest U\/12 Timothy Spadaro-Dutturi starting off 77m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
