Southland Primary Athletic Championships were held at Surrey Park, Invercargill on Sunday, March 24th. 1100 kids from all over Southland and also a large contingent from South Otago took to the track and field. St Peter’s had a strong team of 20 athletes competing under the Eastern Southland banner on the day. Congratulations to all the athletes who competed. It was great to see you all out there giving it 100%. Thanks also to all the Officials, Helpers and Supporters.
