The Waikato Bay of Plenty Secondary School Athletics meet has held recently and Hillcrest had two outstanding young athletes competing.
Taylor Murdoch had some tremendous results in multiple events and is an athlete to watch for the future! Taylor won the junior girls 100m in a time of 12.41 sec, and she also won the junior girls 200m in a new record time of 25.20 sec, an amazing result!
To top this off, she also placed 2nd in the junior girls high jump!
Another very promising Hillcrest High athlete is Annie Downing. She placed 2nd in both the junior girls 3000m (HHS record time) 10:54.68 min, this was despite falling early in the race and having to catch up to the lead runner who just pipped her at the line. This showed great courage and determination from Annie to put herself back in contention for the title. Annie was also 2nd in the 1500m in a time of 5:06.19 min which was less than a sec off the HHS record also.
We are very proud of both of these girls and look forward to following their progress.
