Athletics events were postponed

Woy Woy Public School has postponed a number of events at its annual athletics carnival due to bad weather.

School principal Ms Ona Buckley said the weather was fine for most of the morning at McEvoy Oval but turned bad.

"Towards midday the skies turned dark and the heavens opened up," Ms Buckley said.

"It began to rain as most of the track events were completed.

"The only track events that weren't really necessary were the finals of the 100m and the relays.

"Due to the high quality of the facilities, the field event of long jump was also held on the day. "The rain caught up with proceedings when nearly all the long jump events were completed. "The only event not completed was the 11-year girls.

"This will be completed on the school oval at a later date.

"Some of the discus and shot put events were completed while Year 6 was at Canberra. "Those who were on the excursion will compete for those two events soon, weather permitting.

"Ribbons will be distributed when all events are completed."
