Furthermore, we had 12 events placing Second and 20 events place Third.

Overall the St Joseph’s College Geelong boys, school and community should be very proud of what they achieved on and off the track. They represented the school at the highest level. Hopefully next year, we can go one better. Thanks to staff Jack Farrow and Matt Manly for officiating, Glenn Kemp, Meleah Zanos, Lachie Doak, Ellie Purser and Mark Kennedy for coaching. Special thanks to Bryson Milverton for organisation of the day as chief official. Without these staff, days like these do not run as smoothly and successfully as this one did.
