The highlights for 2017, were winning all three titles at the SSSSA Track & Field A1 Grade Championships for the first time since 2005, two SSSSA Cross Country Team Titles and one SA Orienteering Team Title. The Athletics Team can also boast three National Title holders and seventeen State Representatives across numerous disciplines and eleven Individual State Title holders.

The expertise of coaches; Malcolm Bennett, Will Houtman, Sean Carlin, Craig Loveday, Adrian Pounsett, Jess Coppins, Cam Rudge and Richard Bednall have assisted the athletes in developing their skills. The input of Senior athletes especially during the warmups has also been appreciated. At the Celebration of Athletics 2017, Kendra Pring was presented the “Richard Bednall Award” in recognition of her commitment and dedication to Athletics at Trinity College. Kendra has been an integral member of the Athletics Team for a number of years and has overcome numerous injures to represent Trinity at all Intercollege Track & Field Competitions in 2017, even the predominately boys’ competition – the Achilles Cup in the Pole Vault. She has put the team before personal results often competing in the maximum number of events to ensure Trinity has a competitor in every event. She will compete in the National Knockout Championships with the Senior Girls Team for the second successive year in December. In 2017, she was Girls Athletics Captain and she demonstrated an excellent example to all athletes. Athlete of the Year

Three State Titles, a Meet Record and Six Athletes in SA State Team after 2017 SA AllSchools Track & Field Games

Lauren Smith (Yr8), Arielle Abbate (Yr11) and Kuei Kuei (Yr11) each won a State Title and automatic State selection to lead the performances by the 20 athletes who competed in the SA AllSchools Games for Trinity College. Lauren continued her success with the Hammer with a new meet record, breaking her 2016 record by 2.49m. Arielle showed her dominance over the field in 100m Hurdles to record a national qualifier. Kuei surprised all athletes in the U18 100m final when he won from lane 9, after being taught how to use starting blocks correctly between the heats and final.

Others to compete with success were Isobella Nitschke (Yr7), Alanah Gregory (Yr7) and Jay Goode (Yr11) with silver medals which means automatic selection in the SA Team. Casey Cammans (Yr11) and Kyle Waters (Yr10) won bronze medals and are also likely to be named in the SA Team.

Numerous athletes competed for the first time in this competition, which also serves as selection trials for the SA Team for the National AllSchools Championships in December in Adelaide. It is hoped that athletes will continue to compete for local clubs over the summer months to make further improvements.
