The Open girls ran well to place 3rd as the Open boys got ready for the last race of the day. Michael Brown led off with a good change to Reece Wallace who took off around the bend to John John Wak. The boys looked god and the BTC crowd was excited and cheering them on. john John tore around the bend to give a clean baton hand over to Angus McQueen who took off.....finish line on his radar. along the home stretch the crowd was cheering on their team but Angus was not going to let down BTC as he pwered over the finish line.......1ST...... what a great way to finish the carnival. Well done Open Boys relay.
While BTC did not win any of the overall trophies or shields, Reece Wallace was the Runner- Up to the Open Boys Age Champion. A special mention must go to Keely Mooney and Jayden Pickering who showed true BTC spirit and sportsmanship and kept lining up for events. Also a huge thanks to Marnie Wilson, who organised the Carnival. Many hours were spent in preparation for the day.
