States Largest Team Set for Hometown Nationals

21 Nov 2012

A massive team of 103 will don the Tasmanian green next week, at the Australian All Schools Athletics Championships in Hobart.

Over 1000 secondary students from all corners of the country are set to storm Hobart's Domain Athletics Centre, along with an equivalent number of officials and spectators. A quick search of accommodation availability in Hobart on December 1 indicates just how big the event is.

For the Tasmanian team, it is one of the largest in history. 89 students represented the state when we last hosted the championships in 2009 and it started a national medals onslaught, which has continued since. Now the team boasts a number of nationally ranked athletes, with medals expected from a number of events and age groups.

A number of schools stand out in terms of team representation, including St Virgils (10), St Patricks (8), Hutchins (7), Scotch Oakburn (9), St Mary's (8). Event details include;

Event: Australian All Schools Athletics Championships
Where: Domain Athletics Centre, Hobart
When: Friday November 30 – Sunday December 2
Age Groups: Under 14, Under 16, Under 18
