Terry Dunn 42.2
With the end of the term comes the conclusion of the Terry Dunn 42.2 event that has been running for much of Term 3. The challenge saw:
- Over 1000 separate entries made
- Over 5000km covered
- 22 staff and 75 students took part
- Over 50 staff and students completed the marathon distance of 42.2km
- Another dozen staff and students completed the half-marathon distance
- Many valuable House points were earnt.
When we designed this challenge to reach the 5km, 10km, 21km and 42.2km milestones, we never could have imagined that we would have to create 100km, 200km and even 300km milestones as well!
Congratulations to Chloe Morris (Year 8) who has finished in first place with a total of 342.94km. Chloe loved the challenge and said that it “helped stop me from being lazy and I would run and walk just to do well in the challenge”. Chloe did a lot of her kilometres with her dogs — one is pictured above.
Honourable mentions go to Josh Handasyde (Year 8), Kelly Whitchell (Year 11), Sophie Morris (Year 9), Harry George (Year 12), Louisa Inglese (Year 9) and Harry Doyle (Year 8) who all achieved over 100km. We are so proud of everyone who got involved, and well done to everyone!
Remote Sport in Term 3
During the time that we have been in remote learning the Sport staff have been providing us with weekly sessions and activities to join in and do at home when we would normally have had EISM competition. The activities have ranged from online Google Meet sessions with cross fit coaches, to 'The Great MLMC Dog Walk'. It has been an awesome way to keep involved in some sport and exercise and also catch up with some mates (virtually).
