The ground will be wet so please have something dry to sit on!

There are fewer races this year because we have combined the girls and boys.
Runners are permitted to wear spikes this year.
2 from each event will qualify for the Rakahuri event, and 3rd placegetter will qualify if they are close to 2nd place.

We had athletes at skipping and rugby last week. They had so much fun. Thanks to all the adults who made that possible. Emily, Courtney, Ashleigh, Eden, Emma, and Emily learnt some amazing skills from the World Champion Peter Nestler while the rugby boys were impressed with their referee from Japan as well as a photo with the All Blacks!
