On Friday the 29th of July, a selection of students visited Campbelltown Sports Stadium to represent St Benedict’s Catholic College at the Wollongong Dioceses Athletics Carnival.

Over the day, students from all year groups were able to showcase their athletic ability and talents across a range of track and field events, such as long jump, high jump and 100m sprints.

A special congratulations for Joseph C who received the Age Champion Award for Under 16’s and for Riley D who received second place Age Champion Award for Under 15’s. Both students participated in a wide variety of events on the day and collected plenty of ribbons for their efforts.

Congratulations go to our other standout performances which include:

Emily D - 3rd 1500m

Daniel W - 3rd 100m

Mikaylah R - 1st Javelin, 2nd High Jump

Lauren R - 2nd Long Jump

Torah P - 2nd High Jump

Joseph C - 2nd Long Jump, 2nd Shot Put, 1st Discus, 1st Javelin, 2nd Triple Jump

Riley D - 2nd 400m, 2nd Long Jump

All students in attendance should be proud of their efforts and their wonderful representation of the College.
