Carnival joy for Ponciana

Tyler James, 13, and Dennis Gore, 13, compete in the 110m hurdles.

Poinciana has swept the overall awards at the Kununurra District High School athletics carnival held last week, claiming the primary school, secondary school and overall trophies.

The domination follows on from last year when they also claimed the overall champion faction prize.

Hundreds of students took part in the annual carnival last Thursday, competing in traditional events such as running, shot put, long jump and hurdles, as well as novelty competitions.

The students are split into Ord, Poinciana, White Gum and Boab factions. Champion and runners-up medals were also presented to the boys and girls from each year group.
