The first recorded athletics sports may have been held in 1862. The first documented sports however, were held on the Corio Oval on 2 December 1868 with 14 events in an afternoon program from 2.00pm to 5.30pm. A highlight of these sports days, from 1869, was the competition for the Geelong College Cup which was among the longest lived awards offered by the School. With the introduction of House Sports in 1921 there were two sports events running, usually, a few days apart until 1939 when they were combined into a single sports day. The first Preparatory School sports occurred in 1924. Both the Jubilee History of 1911 and the Centenary History of 1961 include considerable information about athletics.
