Congratulations to Emily F (Year 7 Orange), who ran strongly in the Under 14 girls’ 100m, 200m and 400m, and also Kyan E (Year 11 Silver), who had top five finishes in the Under 20 men’s 800m and 5000m.

BMX riding
Well done to Deegan M (Year 8 Orange) who finished 11^th out of all the 14-year-old boys in Australia at the recent AusCycling BMX National Championships. Deegan (pictured below) is currently the fastest rider in Victoria. Deegan struggled to recover from a chest infection in the week leading up to the competition. In the semi-final, he fought hard from a bad gate to push for a top-four finish but he was pushed high on the last bend, ending his chances of making the final.

AFLW football
Congratulations to Jess V (Year 12 Blue) (pictured above) who last week joined Hawthorn as part of the AFLW Expansion U18 Talent Pathway pre-signing period. You can read more about it HERE.
