The South Coast CHS Region consists of 38 very competitive high schools and is one of the strongest sporting regions in the state.
There were a lot of excellent results, personal bests and broken records.
Some were not able to compete due to injury or sickness. Hopefully there will be plenty of other opportunities down the track for them.
Not all results are in, but to date we have:
