ATHLETICS2001 At Kearsney we believe that mass participation is very important and therefore we started the athletics season with the Kearsney Standards competition where virtually every boy in the school was able to compete. It was won by Pembroke. We also believe in teamwork and in the Interhouse Relay competition the better athletes in all the houses worked together and it certainly contributes considerably to house spirit. This competition was won by Gillingham. We also invitation meeting in Stellenbosch where Gareth Wilkinson came 3rd in the 200m U17. believe in teamwork and in the Interhouse Kelay competition the better athletes in allthe houses worked togetherand it certainly contributes considerably to house spirit.
