Chalmers House is the overall winner of the College Athletics Championship for 2016! The victory ends a lean spell for Chalmers, whose last inter-House sports title was the Cross Country in 2012. The event, which also included the Year 7 and 8 students from the Girls’ School, was held over two days at the College. With the exception of one very brief but heavy shower, the weather was perfect for both outings allowing the athletes to perform at their peak. On the first day, the winners of all but the 100m and relay disciplines were decided. Last Friday, the semi-finalists of the 100m returned to the track for additional races to determine the 100m and House relay champions.

Wishart were declared the championship points winners, with 6 of the 10 individual champions coming from their House. Chalmers were named the participation champions, for having the most athletes compete across the 12 events. With their championship and participation points combined, Chalmers claimed overall success. The future looks bright for boys and girls in blue, with their two champions and six of their seven podium places coming from the Junior and Year 7 and 8 divisions!

Congratulations to all the individual champions!
