* Pompallier Catholic College
The junior boys 100m race was an exciting one at this year's Pompallier Catholic College's athletics day when Krishna Nair broke the long-held sprint record.
Orginally set by V Hibbert in 1991 and tied by S Lewis in 1995 at 11.9s, Krishna ran a time of 11.6s, a record for the school and a time that cemented his place in races in the Northland Track and Field Championships.
Dowling was the winning house on the day with an impressive 974 points.
This included House Spirit points for Dowling's powerful cheers.
