Aths Sports 2007

On Tuesday 7th August, the students made their way across to Duncan MacKinnon for the school’s third and final carnival of the year – the Athletics Carnival. The big question everyone was asking was could the green house of Monash make it 6 carnival wins from 6, and create sporting history at McKinnon Secondary College.

The theme this year was “My Hero”, with students coming dressed as their own hero. Characters such as Collingwood F.C.’s own “Straunie”, Ben Cousins, Shane Warne, the Incredibles and the Power Rangers were all seen competing in the various events and gaining valuable points for their house, as well as having fun in the process!

After the usual array of athletic events on offer, along with the staff v student relay and McKinnon’s own “80-80 Relay”, the results were in and it was announced that the Flynn house had put an end to Monash’s run of victories.

Congratulations must go to all students that braved the tough winds and gave it their best, along with the members of Flynn for winning their first carnival in 4 years. The top student in each event will now go on to the Beachside Championships, held in a few weeks, to see how they go against other students in the district.

Where's Wally?

Hmmm!

Oh, THERE he is!

Mr Bustin - our esteemed Gallagher hero

No, not Xena, but close. A touching tribute to too many hours spent watching cartoons.

Mr Evans reprises his famous personification of Winston Churchill.

Don't ask. Don't tell. I have no idea.

Are your eyes watering?

So many Batmen, so few Robins.

Oooh! There he is again!

The long jump adminstrators. To prove their flexibility, they also managed triple jump.

Mr Lawrence and Mrs Binnion.

When fashion gets in the way of athletics: the poor lass had to hold herself together at all times during the long jump.

Awww. Cute.

Me an' me think dat cool, mon.

I'm not sure if Mr Evans' hero was a Man in Black, or a Mormon.

It was bound to happen eventually.

Perhaps our last Begala-twin atheletic appearance on this website?
