Just last week on Friday, the 15th of August, Ayr State High School (ASHS) dominated the scoreboard against each school in the district at the region’s annual 12 to 19 Years BSS Interschool Track & Field (Athletics) Carnival!
Taking out the top spot for the second consecutive year, the Ayr High Hawks were commended for representing ASHS with exceptional levels of both pride and spirit, leaving the carnival with an impressive 1455 points spread across all categories.
With the event's hosting responsibilities annually shared around to each of the school's of the shire, it just so happens 2025’s Interschool Athletics Carnival was hosted by ASHS themselves, making the win on “home soil” all the more exciting for both students and staff.
The BSS Interschool Athletics Carnival hosts a selection of athletic sports from around 10am through to just before 2pm including 400m, 200m, 100m and relay track events, shot put, triple jump, javelin, long jump, discus and high jump. Annually, an Age Champion across each age division who delivers the best performance will be awarded as well as an Overall Winner, Average Winner and of course, BSS Winning School/Team.
In 2024, ASHS finished first overall in the competitive carnival with a grand total of 1279.5 points, where they also celebrated two Age Champion awardees on their athletic excellence and several students who were selected to attend the North Queensland Track and Field trials.
Previously this year, ASHS finished in second place overall at the annual BSS Interschool Swimming Carnival where a number of excellent team and individual performances were celebrated throughout the event as well as four ASHS Age Champions awardees.
With celebrations and cheers of pride carrying on throughout the ASHS school grounds this week, the challenge of pulling off a hat trick will be the thought on everyone’s mind ahead of next year’s event…
