Year 10 student Saxon McNoe was the star of the TBHS athletic sports held on 18-19 February at the Aorangi Stadium all-weather track.

Competing in the Minor Grade, McNoe won six titles in the 400 and 800 metre races on the track, and in the Discus, Long Jump, High Jump and Triple Jump field events, completely dominating the grade.

McNoe also broke the only two records to fall at the meet in the High Jump (1.64 Metres) and Triple Jump (11.24 Metres).

In the Junior Grade, Reuben Bowen was the dominant athlete winning titles in the 100 metre Hurdles, High, Long and Triple Jump events.

The honours in the Intermediate division were shared between Jed Syme in the 100 and 200 metre Sprint races. Syme also won the open Champion of Champions race in 11.7 seconds. Ryan Bagrie was predictably dominant in the middle distance events, making a clean sweep of the 800, 1500 and 3000 metre titles. Quinn Motley emerged with victories in the Hurdles, Javelin, Discus and Shot Put.

In the Senior Grade, George Guerin and Liam Johnston both took home four titles. Guerin was powerful and uncontested to win the 400,800, 1500 and 3000 metres on the track, while Johnston took the Hurdles and dominated the Field Events with wins in the Discus, Javelin and Shot Put. Again, as with the Swimming Sports, Simmers were the dominant house.
