There was an excellent turn-out of competitors with great participation by the private schools, especially those who travelled a long way such as Gippsland Grammar, Ballarat Grammar and Braemar College. It was also
good to see some state schools participating such as Rosebud Secondary College, Frankston High School and Eltham High School. We hope to see more government schools participating in the future.

Thanks to all the teachers, parents and coaches who have put a lot of time and effort into making sure their athletes participate and make the day a success.
