Athletics GPS Carnival Report

Saturday 21 September 2024

After our short season involving five weeks of training and four invitationals, the Shore Athletics Squad was set for the 128th AAGPS Athletics Carnival.

A whole squad warm-up led by Captain Wylie Hockey set the tone for the day. Boys were encouraged to do their best, for themselves and their school.

Many boys competed at their very best, obtaining personal bests. Amazingly, nine out of twelve 800m runners obtained Personal Bests, as boys continued to run faster, jump higher, and throw further.

Our Junior team tried hard but had to settle for 8th on the points table, with 208 points. Our Intermediate team did slightly better, gaining 6th place with 261 points, and our Senior team scored the most points out of Shore’s three teams, 274 points and placed 5th overall in the Senior division.
