Cross Country success

(1) EISM Cross Country Carnival

Congratulations to our EISM Cross Country team who, on Wednesday 31 August, won the Division 1 carnival. The last time MLMC won this cross country event was in 1994. In winning the overall trophy, we broke Luther’s 11-year winning streak — a huge achievement! Every single runner is to be congratulated for their contribution as every place counted in the points tally. MLMC won the day by two points!

MLMC were age group champions in the following age groups:

• Under 14 girls
• Under 15 boys
• Under 16 girls
• Open boys.

Congratulations to the following students who won medals (pictured in the gallery below): 

• Oliver Coghlan (Year 7 Purple) — bronze in Under 13 boys
• Briar Keyser (Year 10 Orange) — gold in Under 16 girls
• Josh Otto (Year 10 Purple) — bronze in Under 16 boys
• Kyan Ellis (Year 10 Purple) — silver in Open boys
• Rori Jones (Year 12 White) — gold in Open girls.

(2) Senior girls’ Herald Sun Shield football

Yesterday (Thursday 1 September), 30 of our Year 10-12 students participated in the Senior girls’ Herald Sun Shield competition. In a round robin format, the team played three games of 15-minute halves. The girls, while from three separate year levels, came together to make one team for the first time. They played some high-standard football, representing the EISM as the current premiership team, having beaten Aquinas in the EISM Grand Final a week earlier. Their opponents on the day proved too strong, finishing with two losses and a draw in our final game. The last half is where it all came together for a very exciting and fast-paced finish, but we were just a little too late to get the win.
