On Thursday 30 May, Swan competed in the Senior School ACC interschool cross-country carnival at Perry Lakes Reserve in Floreat. Having been selected from our house cross-country carnival, approximately 60 students participated in the 3km or 4km race. In challenging conditions with rain showers persisting throughout the day all students gave their all and represented the College with pride. In each race there was approximately 300 runners representing the 75 schools in attendance. A special mention must go to all students who placed in the top 50 places for their divisions:
Student | Division | Place |
Alexander T | U13 Boys | 29th |
Oscar F | U13 Boys | 36th |
Mikayla DQ | U13 Girls | 38th |
Autumn G | U13 Girls | 44th |
Sahara D | U14 Girls | 7th |
Taleah H | U14 Girls | 30th |
Jude S | U15 Boys | 24th |
Mika B | U15 Girls | 10th |
Ava S | U16 Girls | 43rd |
Austin R | U19 Boys | 36th |
Of the 75+ schools attending, only 33 were able to gain an official overall placing by having at least 3 runners in every division complete the course within the cut-off time. Swan did exceedingly well by not only qualifying for an overall placing for the third straight year, but in also placing 16th overall which is easily the best result we have had.
Congratulations to all students, staff and parents for being involved in our team this year. I’d like to give a particular thanks to Mr Dallin, Mr La Spina and Mr Ellis for coaching the team in trainings and on the carnival day.
We look forward to seeing continued growth for our team next year!
