GSV Athletics Preliminary Carnival

On Thursday 16 August, a team of over 70 athletes represented St Margaret’s School at the GSV Preliminary Track and Field Carnival at Lakeside Stadium. The team, led by Athletics Captain Ella Shone, put in a stellar effort throughout the day, matching it with many of the larger schools that we were competing against.

Ultimately, SMS finished 5^th overall and were duly rewarded with the population trophy, a measure of our strength for our size. There were many highlights throughout the day, including Shae Jones of Year 11 who won the 100m, 200m, 400m treble, a feat not seen before in our athletics history. SMS now progress to the Division 3 Championship Carnival held on Wednesday 29 August. We wish all our athletes the best of luck in trying to bring home the trophy.
