BACKRangitoto College track and field athletes completed a successful Auckland Championship, earning a clutch of medals. The depth and breadth of talent was demonstrated by the range of events in which the athletes won medals, as well as the fact that nearly half of the medals won were by Year 9 and 10 students.
On the track, Rangitoto students won gold in the Junior Girls 2000 m steeplechase and silver in the Junior Girls 300 m and 800 m, and Senior Boys 200 m and 400 m.
On the field, gold was won in the Senior Girls triple jump, hammer throw, shot put, and Intermediate Boys shot put, as well as silver in the Junior Girls javelin and Junior Boys high jump.
Special mention goes to Amy Hurly who won a gold and two silvers, Liam McKellar who won two silvers, and Nadja Kumerich who came away with two golds.
