against much bigger bodies to run over the top of his opposition . Scotch had an amazing 13 event winners on finals day and had 34 events in top three placings from the 67 events . We had two APS records broken , with Bart Leeton and James Hall achieving this in winning the under 17 and under 14 1500 metres in back-to-back events . The squad grew in confidence , and with five events remaining we had drawn within 0.5 points of Melbourne Grammar . Our boys did their very best , but to the opposition ’ s credit they held their nerve and performed a little better overall to win by 6.5 points .

We had additional school records broken in winning performances by Sam Allen ( Year 11 ) in the open high jump and Lachlan Gumley ( Year 10 ) in the under 16 discus ; and Tom Roach ( Year 10 ) in all four of his multi-class events on APS day . Llywy Schoenborn ( Year 8 ) also broke the school record at a lead-up meet in the under 15 shot put .

Other event winners on APS finals day included Mitchell Corr ( Year 8 ) in the under 15 100 and 200 metres , Conor Sullivan in the open 3000 metres , Henry Curlewis ( Year 8 ) in the under 15 1500 metres , Llywy Schoenborn in the under 15 discus and shot put , and both the under 16 4 x 100m ( Ethan Herbert , Rupert Snell-Bliss ( both Year 9 ), Quinton Foliaki and Jock McWilliams ( both Year 10 )), and the under 15 4 x 400m ( Frederick Debowski , James Gregory ( both Year 8 ) Sacha Demetriou and Ollie Anderson ( both Year 9 )) relay teams .

The 2024 season achievements should be celebrated by all squad members for their efforts and contribution . The strength of our program lies in the encouraging and supportive environment that has been built by our boys , coaches and staff where athletes can give of their best . The squad is already looking to next year and planning how we can deliver a breakthrough win for the school .
