Southland Primary Athletic Champs were held at Surrey Park, Invercargill on Saturday 22nd March.
Over 1000 kids from all over Southland, and also a large contingent from South Otago, took to the track & field.
St Peter’s had a 20-stong team of 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.
There were many awesome results that were achieved by our St Peter’s athletes, but I would just like to highlight the outstanding effort on the track by Lily Wiegersma. Lily set a blistering pace and came 1st in the 800m and then backed this up with a superb 1st in the 1500m. Congratulations Lily!
