HOUSE COMPETITIONS Athletics Day

The 2023 Dio Athletic Sports was held on 24 February at the AUT Millennium Stadium, due to the unavailability of Mt Smart.

There were some remarkable records broken:

Sina-Maria Su’a broke all previous Junior, Intermediate and Senior shot put and discus records, beating the Senior discus record by six metres and the Senior shot put record by four metres – an amazing achievement for a Year 7 student!

Jacqui Nasrabadi broke her own Intermediate 200m record with a time of 26.53. Hannah McManus broke her 2022 Junior javelin record with a throw of 25.73m, and set a new 800m record of 2:24:29.

Indie Williams shaved four seconds off the Junior 1500m record with a time of 5:01:53, and Grace Dearlove broke the Year 7 1500m record last set in 1998 with a new time of 5:44:43.
