» Athletics

Athletics takes place in the second half of the Easter Term beginning with House Athletics, and then Inter-School fixtures are held. The highlight of the Athletics season is the annual Prestige Athletics Meeting.

House Athletics is compulsory for all boys, and the Inter-House Tabloids and Championships are compulsory events. The Inter-School Athletics events are only for the boys who are selected for either the A or B school team. These boys will be expected to attend training and compete in meetings on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. However, we encourage all boys to attend training sessions.

DRESS CODE
INTER-HOUSE AND TRAINING: Blue shorts and white cream shirt
INTER-SCHOOL: White shorts and blue school vest
   
  Spikes may be worn, except in distance events and relays.
  Full tracksuits and track shoes must be worn at all meetings.
 
MEETINGS
Athletics meetings are usually held on a Wednesday, where only track events take place, and then on a Friday or Saturday, where track and field events are held.

All Wednesday and Friday meetings start at 14h15 and Saturday meetings start at 08h30. Boys are expected to be on the stands at least 15 minutes prior to the start of a meeting.
