COBDEN Technical School students have shone bright at the recent Greater Western Region Athletics event.
Conditions were perfect in Ballarat for the day’s competition, held on Thursday, October 10.
Rhys Sargood had a great day out, breaking two of his existing under 14 boys’ records, setting a new record in the high jump with 1.70m and a new 200m time of 25.29 seconds.
Rhys already holds the under 14 boys CTS records for both triple and long jump.
He came home with gold in the 100m, 200m and high jump events, along with bronze in the triple jump and a seventh placing in javelin.
