South Island Secondary School Championships Timaru, 5–7 April This year, the South Island Secondary School Track and Field Championships were held in Timaru. It was a very fast turnaround from the Canterbury event the prior Thursday. However, Dr Briar Wait managed to get the team sorted and accommodated in time. A huge thank you for her work. Thanks to Matt Thatcher for taking the pole vaulters and hammer throwers down early and staying there to coach and utilise his excellent photography skills. We enjoyed great support from the team coaches, Tom Turner and Bev Peterson, and the families over the three days. The weather was excellent, supporting a fast track and many impressive PBs. Athletes were selected to represent Canterbury based on their performances at the regional championships. If an athlete was in the top eight, they were in a final (though some events, such as sprints, had heats). Jake Boyd continued his golden run with four wins and a discus record. Jake also ran in the 4x100m relay, with the team 3rd.

Jacobs Housemaster and College triple jump coach Matt Thatcher continued his training success, with Old Boy AJ Madondo winning the U20 triple jump with a leap of 14.28m. AJ was also 2nd in the U20 100m with a 10.63sec PB and 2nd in the 200m (21.67). Canterbury Secondary School Track and Field Championships Nga¯ Puna Wai, 28 March For the first time, the event was held on the Thursday before the Easter break. With it being a teacher-only day, many students were unavailable as they were away, and College boarding Houses were closed. It was also the first time that the competition finished under lights. A strong, cold southerly blew all afternoon, along with occasional rain, affecting times. However, College recorded some excellent results. While some boys did not place, they often achieved PBs. Among the highlights, Jake Boyd broke three U14 Canterbury records – a one- day ‘first’ for College – in the often difficult conditions. Thank you to staff and coaches for supporting the boys during the day. The results were a testament to their hard work. We also appreciated the parental support, particularly when we needed to pack the wet tent down at the end of the day. (Please note all boys were in finals after the preliminary rounds on Tuesday.) 1st Jake Boyd
