On Saturday, 9 May, the 120th AAGPS Athletics Carnival was held at the Sydney Olympic Park Athletics Center to a raucous crowd of boys, teachers and supporters. For the second time in three years, our Juniors brought home the Ladies Challenge Plate which came down to the last relay where Newington won by seven points against The King’s School.

Amidst the electric atmosphere of hundreds of cheering boys, Year 8 Angus Beer (8/ME) broke not one, but two AAGPS records – the Under 13 800 m record at 2:05:68 and the Under 13 1500 m record at 4:27:06. Angus also won the Under 13 400 m race.

Other notable mentions goes to Finn Ballard McBride (10/PR), part of the Intermediate team who won the Under 16 800m and 1500 m race, and Year 9 powerhouse James Roach (9/MA) won the Under 14 100 m, 200 m, 400 m and Long Jump.
