General Overview
Athletics is the heart of track and field competition, where speed, strength, and skill come together. From sprints and long-distance races to high jumps and throws, it’s a sport that caters to every ability. Whether you love running, jumping, or throwing, athletics builds fitness, resilience, and teamwork.
Athletics is a foundation sport within the Andrews Cup, forming one of the three core events that all member schools participate in. Open to students in Years 2 to 6, it provides opportunities in sprinting, distance running, relays, long jump, high jump, and shot put. The event fosters physical fitness, school spirit, and participation.
Athletics is also a great introduction to sport, helping students develop coordination, resilience, and a sense of personal best. Students compete in age groups, and training often includes a combination of fitness, technique, and teamwork.
