It was a very successful night and will help us support our sporty tamarki.

Secondary Schools North Island Athletics Championships
Well done to all of our athletes that competed at the North Island Secondary School Athletics Champs in Hamilton last weekend.
*** Thank you Petr for the summary below and photo ***
Our team of four girls – Kate Faitl, Daisy Ruthe, Mackenzie Hetherington, and Ava Bryant – represented our school with incredible resilience and fortitude at this highly competitive event. The competition was significantly tougher with a deeper field of runners at the Intermediate level and incredibly fast performances at the 1500m at the Junior level. Our girls showed some incredible determination, achieving three podium finishes and setting new personal bests (PBs) in their individual events. Each girl pushed herself to the limit, leaving it all out there on the track. They were truly remarkable!
Intermediate Girls
Kate – 3000m 10:19.52 PB (4th), 4:44.88 PB (7th)
Ava – 3000m 11:18.86 PB (11th)
Junior Girls
Daisy – 800m 2:23.10 Finals (3rd), Prelims 2:22.68 PB (2nd), 1500m 4:41.39 PB (2nd)
Mackenzie – 3000m 10:45.16 (2nd), 1500m 4:59.35 PB.

Ōtūmoetai College Athletes: Unleash Your Potential with Strength & Conditioning (S&C)!
Here at Ōtūmoetai College, we’re dedicated to helping you become the best athlete you can be. While honing skills and training hard are essential, a strong foundation is crucial for success. That’s where S&C comes in!
S&C isn’t just about lifting weights. It’s a tailored program designed to build your strength, power, endurance, and agility – all the physical tools you need to dominate your sport. It can help you:
* Reduce injury risk: By strengthening your muscles and improving your movement mechanics, S&C helps you avoid setbacks.
* Boost performance: Increased strength and power translates to an increase in performance regardless of the sports or position; Stronger, Faster, more Powerful.
* Enhance recovery: S&C improves your body’s ability to bounce back from intense training sessions, keeping you at peak performance.
Ready to take your game to the next level? Make sure you attend our S&C program here at Ōtūmoetai College!
