St Michael's Sports Corner
On Monday, St. Michael’s had 4 students compete in the MacKillop Athletics trials held at Sydney Olympic Park Athletics Centre. It was an early start for the athletes involved having to travel up to Sydney.
The first event of the day was the 1500m. We had Thomas Duncan and Jett Goddard competing in this event for their age groups. Thomas was just pipped at the post for 3rd finishing in 4th with a personal best time of 4:59:17. Thomas was selected for the PSSA team as the student who finished first pulled out of the event to focus on another race at the next level. Jett Goddard placed 5th in his race. Like Thomas, he ran a personal best time of 5:20:15.
Thomas Duncan also competed in the 800m. Finishing in 6th position in a time of 2:33:38
Liam Johnstone competed in the High Jump. He was unfortunately not able to reproduce his great feats from previous carnivals. He still jumped a respectable 1m20.
Lastly, we have our solo female representative, Brooke Pearson, who was competing in the 13 girls 100m. Brooke finished 3rd in her race in a time of 15.84 sec. Brooke was selected for PSSA team. Great effort Brooke.
A big thankyou to the parents who transported our athletes to and from the venue and a big congratulations to Thomas, Jett, Liam and Brooke for the superb effort.
