Rabin is tops!

Carnival conversations

Comments from Greg Allen (U16 Age Champion)

  • My favorite event: 200m and 100m races. They are fast and exciting, and I always get a big thrill from the short distance races. The best thing about these races is that because of the short distance, you must push yourself 100% for the whole run.
  • My favourite memory from the carnival: Coming first in the High Jump. This was memorable because I have never trained for High Jump, and it came as a huge surprise to me that I could achieve what I did without knowing what I was doing.

Comments from Danielle Rutstein (U14 Age Champion)

  • My favourite event: the High Jump – as it is my specialty.
  • My favourite memory from the carnival: My favourite memory from this year’s carnival was when I was doing High Jump and all my friends and kids from other years came to watch me. As I cleared 1.55m they all got excited and congratulated me on how well I had jumped.

Congratulations to the Rabin students below for winning Age Champion at the Athletics Carnival:

I also congratulate the Rabin record breakers:
