Sisters Totes Gun! And Pupils Run!

When Sister Michael fired her gun at St. Mary's College sports everybody on the track took off like she was shooting at them.

But relax! Sister hadn't gone berserk. She was just the official starter, firing blanks in the air. She kept a busy programme going with smart starts and never once failed to get a field away evenly, which possibly contributed to the fact that several records were broken.
