FAMILY DAY
A SOGGY BUT MOST ENJOYABLE FAMILY DAY
Cool and damp conditions could not mar the enthusiasm of competitors , spectators or exhibitors on Family Day , Saturday 14 September . As usual there were impressive displays of art and design , and a diverse array of stalls run by many of our auxiliaries .
The backdrop , however , was of course the fiercely-fought House Athletics competition taking place on the Main . This began at lunchtime on the previous Thursday , with Captain of Athletics Rory Vial taking out the open 3000 m ahead of Conor Sullivan ( Year 11 ) and Bart Leeton
( Year 10 ). In the Scotch Flyer , Patrick Kroschel ( Year 11 ) edged out Alexander Iser ( Year 12 ), and in the Quarter , Hugo Stubbs ( Year 10 ), off 26.4 m , held off Jarrad Munro ( Year 10 ), off 19.7 m , and Bart Leeton , off 11.7 m .
Unfortunately , the somewhat soggy conditions meant our jumps , hurdles and relays did not get off the ground , but sufficient events were held for Gilray to claim a clear victory with Littlejohn second and Selby Smith third .
