Kiama get gold

THE hot weather did not deter Lucindale Area School students from excelling at its annual sports day recently.

Kiama took home the gold, ending Wanboo's five-year winning streak with a score of 826.5 points to Wanboo's 697.

Bundi placed third with 653.5. 

In the Tammy Dowdell competition for students from Reception to Year 3, Bundi took out the honours with 23 points followed by Kiama in second and Wanboo in third.

Will Gould had a very successful day, breaking four records.

In the junior boys high jump he reached a height of 1.46m which broke Brad Hocking's record set in 1991 by 3cm.

In the 11-year-old boys 100m he broke Kane McCarthy's 2002 record by a mere 0.1 of a second, setting a new time of 13.6 seconds.

His third record was in the junior boys shot put with 13.27m, beating his own mark from last year by 1.67m.

Finally, he dominated the discus event getting 42.85m - an extra 1.4m on top of his own distance set at the national titles last year.

The next sporting event for students to look forward to is the interschool athletics carnival at Allendale East tomorrow.

Students who finished first or second in any event have the chance to compete.
