What makes a HABS Athlete? A Film of the Annual School Sports Day

One of the highlights of the school calendar is the annual sports day, where boys compete for their house across the year groups. 

What was most impressive about the 2018 HABS sports day was the spirit of good sportsmanship, both the leadership shown by the older athletes and enthusiasm shown by the younger ones.

So in beautiful weather, at the Woodside Stadium, Watford, over 600 athletes came together to celebrate the penultimate event of the Inter-house Competition. Meadows won the combined overall shield. The age group results are listed as below:

• Year 7: Strouts, Meadows, Calverts
• Year 8: Calverts, Joblings, Hendersons
• Year 9: Strouts, Hendersons, Meadows
• Year 10: Joblings, Meadows, Strouts
• Seniors: Joblings, Meadows, Hendersons

Particular mention for outstanding performance must go to Viren Dulabh (Year 9 300 metres), Josh Levenstein (Year 8 200 metres) and Sam Greenstein (Year 8 1500 metres) and Ben Hocking (Year 9 Javelin).

We would like to thank Andrew Simm, Sarah Goldberg and Phillip Stiff for their tremendous organisation of the event. Sports Day is an enormous logistical challenge, yet despite the June heat, the day was an overwhelming success. We would also like to thank Dr. Barry for three decades of personal involvement in HABS Athletics and wish him the very best for his retirement.

Thank you all!
