We had a very long, wet and windy day at Mt Smart that created some mixed results for our athletes.  Our top eight results were:

6th - Junior Boys Relay team (Sekonaia Fungalei, Patrick Sean, Edward Sefatu and Nun Sok)

4th - Intermediate Boys Relay team (Jermaine Malaga, Isaac Tuala, Edward Travers and Kemara Kemara).

 

Every school provides event support and we were scheduled to support on the track.  Bruce Paulo, Sitaleki Tonga and Kaumavae Tupou competed in the Hammer throw event first in the morning and then assisted on the track from 9.15am-6.15pm when we finished. They were great ambassadors for the school and showed inititive throughout the day.  We received a number of comments from the Auckland Athletics officials about how they were a pleasure to work with throughout the day.  They went above and beyond expectations.

 

Thanks to all staff involved:
Melene Martene and Maggie Silva, Deon Wagner and Hogan Chapman for coaching support, and Katie Spraggon for management.
