The first event of the 2017 School Athletics Championship, the 10,000 metres, was run this morning. In a continuation of the trend over recent years, it was great to see a large field of young men turn out at 7.00am to compete.

Congratulations to the following young men on their placings:
1. Alex Hull Vernon 33.44
2. Benjamin Wall Albion 35.46
3. Adam Matrin Kia Ora 37.35

Mr van Stripriaan was 3rd in the race with a time of 37.12.

There was a big field of over 110 boys who ran the 10,000m this morning.

Alex Hull, who is new to school, took the lead from the start of the race and maintained his lead through out. He pushed himself and kept a fast pace throughout the whole race. Benjamin and Adam also maintained a steady pace.

The 5,000 metres will be run next Friday morning. This is an open event and we encourage young men to challenge themselves and have a go.
