The victrix ludorum title went to Ocean Talma of Brancker, who sped to victory in the 100 metres, 200 metres and 400 metres and was second in the 4x100m relay.
It was Will’s first sports since 2019, and parents and children turned out in their numbers under the bright sunshine.
With friends, family and supporters cheering on every athlete, there was plenty to shout about as the young athletes gave their all in their respective events.
The kindergarten section took to the field first where they took part in some novelty events that tested their all-around ability and not just their speed.
With presentations to the top three athletes made immediately after the races, the events flowed seamlessly throughout the day.
