State Swimming Champion - Ava Hager
Congratulation to Year 8 student Ava on her outstanding performances at the School Sport Victoria State Swimming Competition held at MSAC on 23 April.
Ava achieved fantastic results, taking home a bronze medal in the 50m Breaststroke, along with strong finishes in the 50m Butterfly (5th), 50m Backstroke (5th) and 50m Freestyle (6th). An incredible effort across multiple events. Well done Ava!
Intermediate Boys' Tennis
The day started full of optimism and hope as we headed back to Hume Tennis Complex for the divisional round for the Intermediate Boys Team. With the minibus packed up and the energy high, we headed down the highway.
The team started cold again, straight off the bus, and into their first match with no warm-up. There was some pretty solid tennis considering the stiff limbs, but unfortunately we went down in all the singles and doubles matches. Simon featured this time after missing the first round due to other sporting commitments, strengthening the team and taking the number 1 spot for the day.
The second match against University High School saw some closer matches with our double pairings working well together, getting some games off tough opposition. With many close games, and sudden death at deuce, it was a lot closer than what the final result showed on the scorecard.
With the result out of reach, in the final round for the day the boys shared a round the pairings and structure which gave Jacob action in the singles getting a game from his serve which was a highlight of the day for the boys.
The boys represented the College excellently showing great sportsmanship and supporting each other throughout the day.
The team consisted of: Ollie Whykes, Simon Rodriguez-Mendoza, Cillian Durrant, Alexander Price, Jacob Burnett, Lincoln Soutter, Anuwa Featherstone and Alexander McLean.
Year 7 & 8 Netball
On Friday 24 April we took two Year 7 and two Year 8 netball teams to Darebin, to compete in the first round of the SSV competition.
We were lucky to be blessed with wonderful weather and a fabulous day of sportsmanship, leadership and talent on display. The Year 8 team was unlucky to lose to Wallan preventing them from progressing to the next round, but both teams played some great netball and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
The Year 7 teams also had a successful day, with one team narrowly missing out on the final and the other team progressing to the final and WINNING! The girls pictured will represent the College at the next round in August. Well done girls. A special thank you to Isla Evans, Matilda Donald and Annabel Willis for their amazing leadership and coaching on the day.
Mickleham Tennis Year 7 & 8
A beautiful day greeted us at Hume Community Tennis Centre on Wednesday 22 April for the first round for Year 7 & 8 students. Strong competition pushed the students to raise their game within a highly competitive group.
The Year 8 Girls went undefeated and reached the final prevailing with 3 sets to 1 and 9 games to 5, and through to the NMR round on Tuesday 28 April. Both the Year 7 boys and girls won their group and weren’t required to play in a final, and had direct entry to the NMR round scheduled for Thursday 30 April.
Year 8 NMR Round
The Year 8 Girls made the NMR round and only had to play one round to qualify for the final, as two other schools in their group withdrew. The girls defeated St Helens 6 sets to 0 & 24 games to 1. The final was a lot more competitive. After six matches the sets were tied 3-3 but unfortunately the girls couldn’t quite get over the line, losing the final 22 games to 17.
A terrific effort by the girls and we look forward to next years competition.
