Closely following on from the Swimming Championships came the Athletics Championships on Friday 8 March .
The competitors and staff all handled the hot weather well and as always there was some great races and top class field event competitions throughout the day. The highlight being the Senior High Jump after lunch, which caused a halt in the track programme, while Matthew Codd and Karl Wright both broke the record, jumping 1.81m. Other records set on the day: Chris Bryan (LS) Year 8 Shot Put 10.45m, Kyle Van der Merwe (LS) Senior Shot Put 17.91m, and Senior Javelin 50.19m. Solomon again proved too strong holding off a strong finishing La Salle, with Loreto again forcing Benildus to remain holding the wooden spoon until the next competition.
