Over the last two weeks, I spent some time at the 49th Inter-Primary Track and Field Championships. 97 schools fielded 2,536 athletes over the eight days, a number that is trending downwards according to coaches and teachers I spoke with. Some schools have also dropped the traditional Sports Day, replacing it with a telematch-type sports carnival.
