Polding Athletics 2022

The Polding Athletics Carnival was held in Newcastle at Glendale Athletics Track. The day began under rainy conditions that were extremely tough for all competitors. As the day continued the weather improved and we finished in beautiful sunny conditions.

We were well represented by over 115 athletes from many of the Primary Schools the Diocese. Many students watched their mates compete back at school on the live streaming.

A huge thank you to our team managers: Kylie Scott - Sacred Heart Coolah, Greg Cant - St Pius Dubbo, Meghan Booth - St Joseph's Oberon, Paigan Anderson - St John's Dubbo and Alison Curtin - Holy Family Kelso who did a wonderful job.
