CGS 1km Challenge

The fifth running of the CGS 1km Challenge was held in ideal, warm conditions on Wed 31st Oct, with 32 boys and staff pitting themselves against the 1km course around School.
Harrison Lagastes (Yr 9) lead the way in 2:50, breaking Hanson Wong's previous record of 2:52 to head the all time leaderboard.
Howard O'Brien (Yr 11, 2:54), Matthew Thorn (Yr 11, 2:58) and Corey Bruinstroop (Yr 11, 2:59) also dipped under the elusive 3 min barrier, joining Hanson and 6 others who will soon be placed on an honour board.

Well done to all those involved. The Challenge will run again in Term 1, 2013.

2012 AGSV Finals - Results

The inaugural combined boys/girls AGSV Athletics Carnival was held yesterday in warm, blustery conditions at the new Lakeside Stadium at Albert Park.

With the rise of PEGS and ongoing strength of Trinity and Peninsula, Camberwell's athletes were forced to work hard for medals but performed admirably in a brilliant day of competition.

There were multitudes of personal bests on the day, aided by great support from a vocal cohort of students, with CGS ultimately finishing 4th, but was closing rapidly on Peninsula following some stirring results in the final relays.

Well done to all those involved: athletes, reserves, spectators, officials, staff and special thanks to Logan Dutton for the magnificent pictures!
