Although no PISAC records were broken, the BISP athletes proved their dominance in long-distance running and showed great support for each other and the visiting schools.

BISP Physical Education teacher and athletics team coach, Maggie Walby, was pleased to see so many young primary students participating this year.

BISP students will get another chance to run, as well as throw and jump, at the PISAC Athletics event in April.
