Around 40 College students competed at the Auckland Athletics Championships at Mt Smart Stadium yesterday with great success. The students hauled in 20 medals, including seven gold, and a record that had stood for 33 years was smashed by our Intermediate Girls relay team - Lisa Putt, Jaymie Kolose, Briana Gibson, Cecile Velghe. The previous record was 50.64 and the girls ran 50.60 for the new record. 

Year 11 student, Lisa Putt led the charge with the most medals on the day, she won gold in the Intermediate Girls’ triple jump, gold as part of the 4x100m relay and silver in both the long jump and 100m. Year 13 student, James Uhlenberg came away with two gold medals in the Senior Boys’ 3000m and 1500m. Another outstanding result was from Year 11 student, George Kozlov who won three silver medals in the Intermediate Boys’ 100m, 200m and as part of the 4 x 100m relay.
