WHS 2016 Athletics
We held two days of athletics this year with the Y9-10 compulsory day of over 600 students taking part and competing in their form classes throughout the day.
This was once again a huge success with form teachers, peer mentors and form classes working together competing at all disciplines.
Our Senior Athletics day was also a successful day with over 500 students taking part in the day. This year we also bought our top 10 junior athletes in all disciplines to compete at the senior athletic day.
We had 4 WHS records broken on the day:
Mitchel Millar – 14.15m in Shot Put for Senior Boys
Briella Maua – 9.28m in Shot Put for Intermediate Girls
Javontae Alabaster-Wroe – 14.18m in Shot Put for Intermediate Boys
Sophie Andrews – 26.94m in Discus for Junior Girls
WHS also represented the school well at the Wanganui Secondary School Athletics Champs with 110 athletes competing.
This year we have 7 students representing the school at the North Island Secondary School Champs in Auckland on 2nd-3rd April.
They are Javontae Alabaster-Wroe, Sophie Andrews, Rebecca Baker, Max Campbell, Louis Hogan, Matt Kleinsmith and Maria Williams.
