\"AHS<\/a><\/p>\n

The 2016 County Sports saw a dry but cool and overcast day at Caird Park. With settled weather the PE department threw caution to the wind and went without their trusted marquee.\u00a0 All the competitors were tense but, like a well-oiled machine, the cogs began to turn and we all dared to dream the dream.<\/p>\n

Max Bremner drew first blood with an emphatic victory in the S1 Boys\u2019 Hurdles.\u00a0 His elder brother Nick made it a family affair later returning convincing victories in the S2 100M and 200M.\u00a0Niamh Feighan returned double gold in the Shot and Discus for the senior girls.\u00a0 The gold rush didn\u2019t stop there with Elliot Boath returning double gold for 100 M and High Jump.\u00a0 In the S1 girls Kaitlin Bastow blasted her way to victory in the 200M.\u00a0 Rachel Lorimer produced an outstanding run to win the S2 Girls\u2019 200M.\u00a0 S2 boys saw Logan Swankie win Gold in the Triple Jump and silver in the discus.\u00a0 Owen Ruxton produced a fine throw to secure gold in the Javelin.\u00a0 For S3 boys Arran Lyall won a gold at Discus and a silver for Shot Putt.\u00a0 Anna Robertson won Javelin on the way to a good all round performance.\u00a0 In senior boys Adam Brewer in his first year in this age group won gold at Javelin with Kailin Branigan rounding out his school days with a fine gold for High Jump.<\/p>\n

S1 Boys and S2 girls struck gold in the relays romping home to victory by some considerable margin.\u00a0 The relays in general proved to be highly successful with all the teams coming home in medal positions bar two.<\/p>\n

AHS won the overall competition by 54 points and also accrued 5 wins out of 8 for the\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong>A league schools age group competitions.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This was a truly special day and is the culmination of several years\u2019 very hard work within the PE department with these incredibly talented, enthusiastic and dedicated performers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone who participated contributed to an overall outstanding performance. The gauntlet has been laid down to all the other Angus Schools and the trophy has been brought back home!\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, many thanks to all our helpers, volunteers and staff both on the day and in the lead up, we couldn\u2019t have done this without you.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
