The McEvedy Shield is one of the most iconic events on Wellington's college sport calendar.

The annual athletics meet on the first Tuesday of March sees the top athletes from Wellington College, Rongotai College, St Patrick’s College Wellington and St Patrick's College Silverstream gather at Newtown Park to compete, as fellow students pack out the stand and banks, for a fun day of top athletics and school pride.

The event celebrated its 100th edition on March 7th, with Wellington College taking out the title for the eighth year in a row.

Adam Cooper was joined in studio by the victorious co-captains, Guy Lees and Leo Yousuf, along with Wellington College's teacher in charge of athletics, Mark Tinkle.
