Athletics

Athletics is a relatively new sport at St Mary’s. Our athletes are treated professionally and follow training programs pertaining to their various events. Athletes have been introduced to stretching, strengthening and conditioning exercises. They attend fitness, agility and specialization sessions, where they obtain individual coaching with Roger Hattingi and Alicia Daniell. Roger is a South African athlete who has recently qualified for the Commonwealth Games in the triple jump event. He coaches the long jump, high jump, hurdles and relay events. Alicia coaches the sprinters and middle distance athletes.

St Mary’s athletics has improved dramatically over the past two seasons. We were the proud winners of the Interhigh Athletics event in 2008 and 2009, and currently hold a number of records at this very prestigious event.
