On the back of some impressive all round performances and powered by some brilliant relay results, Freeman broke clear of a tenacious Thorpe House to hold aloft the shield for the champion athletics house.
Parkview students produced performances for the ages, with two records broken across two days of action typified by outstanding application and sportsmanship.
Tallis McMillan added his name to the record books in the senior boys long jump, adding 27cm to the existing record landing a jump of 4.22m just minutes after Kobe O'Callaghan had provisionally broken the existing record by 3cm.
In the senior high jump it was Kobe's turn to join the history books, clearing 1.36m and in the process equaling a record that has stood for 22 years.
In front of a huge crowd of supportive spectators over 50 students qualified to represent the school at the Leeton-Narrandera PSSA Athletics Carnival to be held on August 16.

- Freeman 481
