Thirteen children represented Oakleigh South PS at the School Sport Victoria State Athletics Championships at Lakeside Stadium in Albert Park.

It was an amazing performance by these wonderful children who all won medals.

Ori competed in the Multiclass category in the 100m, 200m and Long Jump. He won Gold in all 3 events. What an outstanding achievement.

All our relay teams made the finals.

9 / 10 Girls 4 x 100m relay – Jazmin, Emily, Cleo and Myrto, won the Gold medal. What a fantastic effort.

11 Girls 4 x 100 m relay – Kelly, Abi, Jessica and Aeon won the Gold medal in a Record breaking time of 56.43. The girls broke the record in the heat, then broke their own record four hours later in the final. What champions !

12 / 13 Girls 4 x 100m relay – Samantha, Kyra, Louisa and Katherine won the Silver medal. This was a really exciting race and the girls were brilliant. This adds to Katherine’s Silver last year and Gold medals in 2014 and 2015. What a super Athletics Captain we have.

Thanks to all teachers who have helped this team and the wonderful support by the parents.
