For the first time in two years, it was exciting to be back at Lakeside Stadium for the 2021 ACS Athletics Championships and what a wonderful day of track and field it was. The weather was perfect, the athletes primed and ready to go and Nora from Overnewton sang a beautiful rendition of the national anthem to start the day.
The competition was fierce and friendly as competitors drove each other to personal bests and new records for athletes from Loyola, Beaconhills and St Leonard’s.
The relays are an exciting part of the program and not for the faint hearted, as double points are available for the taking, the athletes did not disappoint the enthusiastic crowd. Nearly all schools won relays with the depth at Westbourne and St Leonard’s seeing them win five and four relays respectively.
Some of the highlights included; Year 12 Loyola Boys and St Leonard’s Girls winning the coveted 4 x 100m and open 4 x 400m double. Overnewton were impressive throughout the day with their sprinters, St Michael’s Year 11 Boys team held out St Leonard’s by one point to take the pennant and Beaconhills had some outstanding individual results as did Loyola.
In terms of the three major trophies, it was a tussle between reigning champions St Leonard’s and Westbourne. St Leonard’s held Westbourne out for top place by only 12 points for the Girls aggregate trophy with Westbourne taking out the Boys aggregate and Overall aggregate trophies. Congratulations to both team and to all schools on an outstanding athletics carnival.
