Best EVER Athletic Results!!!

We praise God for our best EVER Athletics results in the histrory of Hillview Christian School at the Canterbury Secondary Schools Athletics Prelims at Ngā Puna Wai yesterday. Our team of twenty did exceptionally, with 17 of them qualifying for Finals or Semi Finals in 21 events! We usually have two or three athletes qualify at this top level. Azryel Fonmoa (Shot Put) and Israel Davis (400m – 56.76 seconds!!!) go into Thursday’s final as top qualifiers and in the Under 14 Boys’ 100m semi finals we have three runners (Daniel Le Roux, Laitogi Lai Kong and Cedrick Jambalos) in the top eight qualifiers with two wins and a 2nd in their heats. Kaniesha Sopo was second qualifier in the Shot Put and third in the Discus Throw. Manny Thrupp had an amazing 5 metre plus Long Jump to qualify 3rd along with Daniel Le Roux (4.98m) for the Long Jump Final. Louis Dowall (3rd) and Lyric Tukia both qualified for the Javelin Final. To qualify for finals the athletes need to finish in the top 8 in their prelims – sometimes from fields of 35+ athletes. Over 1000 students took part from 45 secondary schools.

Below is a list of our qualifiers and their start times. Unfortunately some of our athletes are unable to compete as it clashes with Easter Camps. Well done to all of our team and a big thanks to the parents who came to support us and to Mr Le Roux who managed the team.

Some great performances from our two Year 9 Mountain Bikers today at the Singletracks Secondary Schools’ competition at Halswell Quarry. Both Anthony Oliveria and Fynn Burridge had super races with Anthony coming in about 5th in the Sport Grade and Fynn going so close to getting the W in the C/D Grade combined, leading after the first of two laps and just being outsprinted by a second on the line! More importantly, both looked liked they wrere having lots of FUN!!!
