AIC Track & Field Team List (announced end of Term 3)
The Track and Field season commences with the annual Inter-house Carnival held on Ekka Thursday each year. From this carnival, we identify the College’s top athletes to join Villanova’s track and field squad.
Members of the squad train twice a week at Vilanova Park where our Track & Field facility is located. Training commences Week 4 of Term 3 on Monday and Tuesday afternoons after school. Training, along with organised AIC Track & Field meets continue until the running of the AIC Track and Field Championships.
A dedicated group of coaches, consisting of College staff, Old Boys and professional external coaches, ensure our athletes are well prepared for the two-day AIC Track and Field Championships usually held early Term 4.
During the season, additional information such as training times, team lists, staff, schedules and results is available on the College website.
