LASTYEARS

so competitors needed to give their all in their one race for each event. However, no records could be broken in 2022 due to the difference in pool lengths (Thorndon is 33m long, as opposed to the Aquatic Centre which is 50m long).

The real stars of the show were, however, the record breakers, Rebecca Yu and Marina Nadilo. These two students blew everyone out of the water with their amazing performances in the 25m Freestyle and Intermediate Butterfly, respectively. We're sure they made their parents, teachers and fellow students proud with their impressive achievements.

House Results

Normally a full-noise house event at the Wellington Regional Aquatic Centre was instead a small, but competitive, series of races down the road at Thorndon Pool.

The competition was fierce and the sportsmanship was top-notch as the students cheered for their respective houses and encouraged their peers. The costumes were a highlight of the event, adding an element of fun and creativity to the proceedings.

Due to the limited competitors this year, no heats were held. This meant that every race was essentially a timed final,

House points were very much on offer, however, and Lochleven was utterly dominant and stormed to victory for the third time in as many years. Berwick will be happy with their second-place finish after taking out Athletics Day. Braemar came in third, Glamis in fourth, while Stirling’s woes in the pool continued with their second fifth-place finish in a row.

Overall, the event was testament to the resilience of our school community and the importance of physical activity and teamwork. Despite the challenges of the past two years, the students were able to come together and showcase their talents and determination. And boy, did they do that with style!

So, a huge congratulations to all participants and placegetters. We can't wait to see what you have in store for us next year.
