The grey skies seen above Massey Park certainly did not match the apprehension, excitement and adrenalin that filled the air at the Counties Manukau Athletics Championships.
Of the 28 competitors from Sancta Maria College, notable placings were Erica Lim who came first in Junior girls 100 and 200 metre sprints, Catherine Vaiangina who came first in the Senior girls discus, and Tristan Tualagi who also came in first in the Junior boys 200 metres, and second in the 100 metre sprints.
The action filled day ended with the Junior girls relay finishing in 3rd place and the Junior boys in 4th place.
Overall, it was a tough but successful day for all participants.
