JUST like at the Rio Olympics, records tumbled one after the other at the Grantleigh Schools senior inter-house athletics day held last week.

Senior Victor Ludorum winner Simon Upfold bettered the U17 boys 400m, 800m and 1 500m records, with all-rounder and fellow recipient of the Senior Victor Ludorum award, Liam de Villiers, setting a new U17 boys 100m record.

Senior Victrix Ludorum winner Micaella Forbes set a new U19 girls high jump mark, with Chené van Wyk improving the U17 girls discus record.

Wandile Gumede smashed the U15 boys 100m and 200m records on his way to the Junior Victor Ludorum award.
Tasmin Anderson picked up the Junior Victrix Ludorum title.

As the points currently stands (with the relay races still to be run), Trogons lead the way, followed by Orioles and Bishops.
