Sun, wind, torrential downpours – we saw it all at this year’s Boys’ School athletics events but despite the variable conditions we saw records tumble in each of the age groups!

The Middle School was first to head to Mt Smart and, with the weather in their favour, competitive spirit was on a high as the track and field got underway. Of the nine records broken this year, seven were claimed by Middle Schoolers, with James Ford leading the way breaking three records in sprint and long distance. Well done James!

Sunscreen and sunhats were somewhat superfluous at the Senior School event as the weather tested the mettle of our best senior athletes – and the staff who stood in the rain and wind to time, measure and record! Everyone was pleased to see the sun break through! Well done to Jack Mitchell who broke the long jump record.

The Junior School competition took place on the top field at school with all our youngest athletes raring to give it a go from running and jumping, to egg and spoon and sack races. Max Trankels kept his winning form from earlier years to break the 100m record.

The boys are now looking forward to the House Relays, along with the Girls’ School, in a fortnight.
