Goodwood College is so proud of the brave effort of our athletes today. WOW. Thanks to all athletes, teachers and organisers for a fun filled day. G4 schools showed solid and amazing interaction. In this collage you will notice an early start with breakfast for the athletes, the bus ride to the stadium and some action on the track.
