Director of Sport | Mr Damian Wright

Congratulations to all the boys who competed at the GPS Track and Field Championships last Saturday. There were numerous outstanding performances by many boys across the age levels, which resulted in Terrace finishing in eighth position. Upon reflection of the points table, it can be identified that there was a very close spread of scores with 18.5 points covering ninth to fifth place. 

There were four winners on the day with Mali Dorante in the Under 14 400m, Trevine Loos in the Under 13 Javelin, Jonathan Van Aswegen in the Under 15 Javelin and Daniel Di Giandomineco in the Open Discus.

However, the true story lies in the 'personal bests' that so many boys achieved on the day and the fighting spirit shown by numerous boys to try and gain that one extra place. The culture of the Track and Field program has been developing into a more positive mindset over recent years and this a great positive to take from Saturday.

The post event was a wonderful way to celebrate the boys and their achievements. Thank you to the Support Group of parents who so ably assisted on the night and also throughout the season, especially with the provision of breakfast for the boys.

Thank you to Head Coach Ms Tatiana Grigorieva and Director Mr Anthony Hayward for their all-consuming efforts and support of the boys.
