As expected, every student gave their best effort in each event they entered.
Runners, jumpers and throwers displayed commitment and skill with some outstanding results achieved.
Mathoura Public School athletes were fortunate to have incredible support from the school community, with parents, grandparents, family and friends lining the sidelines to cheer them on.
There was plenty of action to keep spectators engaged with students participating in a range of track events, including the 800m, 200m, 100m, as well as field events.
