Results for Schools Championships

Final scores from the Australian Schools Championships:

• NSW 67
• Queensland 61
• ACT 60
• Tasmania 48
• SA 34
• WA 33

Closest contest of the day was the battle for second overall - Queensland needed to come 5th in the senior girls relay to get enough points and were in a close contest for 4th, 5th and 6th until the very end, but did the necessary (just).

Well done WA Team - it's the first time since 1992 that WA have finished ahead of another state!
