Records Smashed in Spectacular Athletic Performances at the College Athletics Carnival!
Some truly incredible performances lit up the track and field recently, as long-standing records came tumbling down in sensational style.
In the Under 13 Discus event, Callan Atherton and Jack Sullivan treated spectators to a thrilling showdown. Both athletes shattered the existing record, but it was Callan who edged ahead with a mammoth throw of 43.41 metres, claiming top honours. Their fierce rivalry continued across the field events, with Callan also rewriting history in the Shot Put with a distance of 13.86 metres, while Jack stepped up in the Javelin, launching an impressive 36.01 metres to secure another Under 13 record.
The boys’ collective efforts meant all three Under 13 throwing records were broken—a phenomenal achievement that speaks volumes of their talent and determination.
Not to be outdone, Cooper Jones stormed down the track in the Opens 100m sprint, clocking a blistering time of 11.35 seconds to claim a brand-new record in front of a roaring crowd.
