• Full Results
• The day started off with the mile final. Winslow Atkeson and Owen Karas both tightly contested this. The tactical race proved to be exciting for the spectators, with Atkeson and Karas both fighting well but unfortunately missing out on points.
• In the 60 meters Kit Colson backed up his PR from Saturday with a time of 6.81 to place fourth. Over the 200m Jacob Kao just missed out on points and ran a time of 21.99.
• The 800 meters was contested by Thomas Cirrito and Amaré Fields. Cirrito closed quickly to secure valuable points with his fifth-place finish. Over the 1k Braden King put in a solid performance to just miss out on points, placing seventh.
• The 5k was contested by a large number of Bulldogs. Leading them home was Sean Kay, who placed seventh. Martin Riddell also had a noteworthy race to come home in 10th.
