They represented the school with dignity, and each tried very hard in their respective events.
The standout performer was Ryan Wells who gained both a gold and silver medal.
In the high jump, Ryan was one of three athletes that finished on 1.56m and had to compete in a jump off for first place.
Ryan had to settle for the silver medal.
A couple of hours later Ryan backed up in the final of the 800m, one of the last events of day two.
Ryan powered home to convincingly win the gold medal.
Other athletes to make the finals included Tasmyn Davies (discus), Luke Thompson (hurdles), Blake Fittler (shot put) and Dylan Miles (800m).
Other LHS students who participated very well but just missed out on the final were Ashley Robinson (200m and long jump), Emily Healey (800m), Kyra Phillips (shot put), Lachlan Thompson (high jump), Maddison Symes (100m) and Kobi Egan (triple jump).
