The Western Region athletics carnival was held on Friday the 16thof May in Cowra.
It was a nice day as opposed to last year's wet and rainy conditions. The eight WHS students were competing across 5 different age groups. In total the students won a total of 18 medals. Charles Roberson competed in the Junior Boys age group and picked up gold medals in Javelin and Shot put and a silver in discus. He raced well and came 2ndin his 100m and 200m heats. Peter Gorman received a bronze medal in the Intermediate boys' discus. This was a huge achievement considering there was almost 30 competitors in that age group. Amanda Dorin performed well and ended up either a bronze or silver in every event. Nicole Roberson won gold in the following events – 100m, 200m and 400m, Long Jump, Shot Put and Javelin. She also picked up a silver in discus. At the end of the day she was awarded Intermediate Girls age champion. The WHS mixed relay team consisting of Amanda Dorin, Charles Roberson, Terry Elwell and Nicole Roberson ran well to get silver. Scott Tailby, Corey Wilkinson, Terry Elwell and Khristian Tailby competed well all day and showed vast improvements in all events during the day.
I must congratulate all competitors on their enormous efforts and excellent behaviour during the day.
