IGS students in athletic kit are racing on a red athletics track under a partly cloudy sky. Three runners are near the finish line whilst people and trees are visible in the background at the CDSSA Athletics event.

“A definite stand out on the day was Emilia Williams (14 girls) and Louisa Price (15 girls) winning overall age champion. What an outstanding result from the girls. Genevieve Egan also finished in third in the age champion points tally for the 13 girls,” Emily said.

“These athletes have qualified for the AICES Athletics Championship and will represent CDSSA at Sydney Olympic Park on the 6th of September. Good luck to all our athletes!”
