HKSSF Athletics
Congratulations! South Island Athletics team managed to secure a 2nd place trophy for the A grade boys and a 4th place overall boys finish (A, B and C grades combined). This is a massive achievement, which we are all very proud of, and a big improvement from last year. The girls also performed fantastically, with the A grade girls finishing 4th, C grade girls finishing 3rd and an overall 4th place girls finish (A, B and C grades combined).
There were many memorable moments over the course of the competitions. Jimmy Standing, Conor McLaughlin, Richard Ku and Dominik Vagner managed to finish in first place in such an intense race of the A grade boys 4x400m run. In the 4x400m C grade girls’ race where Naomi Teng, Ella Uyede, Emma Standing and Marisa Lau secured 2nd place in their relay, losing out on first place by only 3 seconds. They show so much promise and have a good few years of competitions left where they can get that first place medal.
