Sports news and updates

(1) EISM Cross Country

On Wednesday 12 September, several MLMC students travelled to Ruffey Lake Park in Templestowe to compete at the annual EISM Cross Country Carnival. As the last sports carnival of the year all the students were excited to finish the year strong. With perfect weather conditions for running, the Year 11 Sport and Recreation students led each age group through a thorough warm-up prior to their races. These warm-ups progressed into many podium finishes for our College on the day, finishing in fourth place overall. All students should be commended for their tremendous efforts at the carnival.

Placegetters from the day:
Max Benson - Gold (Under 15 Boys)
Kelly Whitchell - Gold (Under 16 Girls)
Jack Silvester - Bronze (Under 15 Boys)
Olivia De Vincentis - Bronze (Under 15 Girls)
Amy Frazetto - Bronze (Under 16 Girls)
Harrison van Duuren - Bronze (Under 16 Boys)
Mikayla Byrne - Bronze (Open Girls)

Here is a student reflection from the Cross Country Carnival:
Cross Country was an enjoyable day because I got to meet other long-distance runners and cheer everyone on. It was a great feeling when I came through the finish line because everyone was cheering and getting involved. My friends and I were on the side of the track enjoying watching other contestants run past. — Louisa Inglese (Year 7 Blue)
