Jayzin triumphs at Canterbury Secondary Schools’ Athletics

Jayzin Cleghorn is the best Discus thrower in Canterbury for his age. Today, at Rawhiti Domain, in the finals of the Canterbury Secondary Schools’ Athletics, he unleashed a huge throw of over 31 metres to win the Junior Boys’ grade. His excellence in the field events was backed up later in the day when he threw the 5kg shot over 10 metres to take third place.

Distance runners Josiah Rees and Renzo Childs ran solid races in their 1500m races and then Farran Landers ran a very well judged 3000m to take 11th out of 18 finishers in the U14 Boys’ grade final. Well done to all of our qualifiers! Former student, Daena Vas Viegas (now at Rangiora New Life School as  a Year 11) was outstanding, winning both the Intermediate Girls’ Shot and Discus.
