Crestwood brought a huge contingent and took home the trophy for champion primary school at the annual Sydney West titles at Fred Caterson Reserve on Wednesday.
This was the rescheduled second day of a two-day event, having been washed out in June. Samuel Gilbert PS took out the first day in June, but Crestwood had a higher points total and thus regained the trophy they won in 2016.
Glorious temps in the low 20s meant a perfect day for the 301 excited students who enjoyed a map walk, age race and three-person relay.
Many thanks to ONSW organiser Barbara Hill, her team of helpers, teacher organiser Johl Storey, Hills Council and the photographer from the local paper who came along to cover the event (pictured).
A reminder that entry is open to the NSW schools champs, also to be held in the Hills District this year, on September 1-2. Schools have no role in this event, so students (ie parents) are responsible for entering.
Our last regional schools champs are Sydney North, at St Ives Showground on Monday August 13.
