CROSS COUNTRY HONOURS - Doug Foulkes-Taylor

Throughout the 2012 and 2013 PSA Cross Country seasons Doug Foulkes-Taylor has been one of the outstanding runners. In 2012 season he won five of the six races where the Scotch College team competes against another PSA school. This is a rare achievement for a Year 11 student. Doug also won the All Schools 5km race where approximately 250 runners form the seven PSA schools compete in the same race. Again in 2013 Doug won five of the six individual races. He won these races by substantial margins, 100's of meters in front of the second placed runner. Doug set 3 course records on the Scotch, Hale and Guildford tracks; a very rare/outstanding achievement. In the All Schools 5km Doug placed 2^nd, and in the All Schools 8km he placed 1^st. Doug also placed 2^nd in the Open Division of the State School Boys Cross Country Championship.

Doug's performances over the last two Cross Country seasons place him in very elite company as one of the very best in not the best ever, to have ever represented Scotch College. Certainly his achievements have not been paralleled by a Scotch runner in the last 25 years. Setting three course records in 2013 must also place him as one of the best runners in the 34 years that Cross Country has been a PSA sport. While Doug possesses huge talent these outstanding achievements have been the result of hours and hours of hard, disciplined training.

FOOTBALL 2013

The following boys are awarded Colours for Football in 2013 and have previously received Colours.

FOOTBALL HONOURS - Jack Prendiville

• 2013 Scotch College 1^st XVIII Alcock cup winning football captain
• 2013 Scotch College 1^st XV III Fairest and Best - winner (3^rd time)
• 2012 Scotch College 1^st XV III Fairest and Best - winner (2^nd time)
• 2011 Scotch College 1^st XV III Fairest and Best - winner as a Year 10
• 2013 Claremont Football Club Colts team member

The above contributions and personal achievements for Jack Prendiville in 2013 have been ever so more impressive due to the scrutiny Jack comes under each and every game of football he plays. Jack was earmarked early as a talented individual when winning his first Scotch College Fairest and Best award as a Year 10 player. For the last 2 years opposition teams through the use of a tag or rough play have targeted Jack in order to diminish his output whilst playing each and every week.

The perseverance and determination Jack has shown to lead by example was highlighted this year when Jack on both occasions was asked to play on All Australian - AIS scholarship holders. Not only did Jack play on and beat his opponent he accomplished this whilst being tagged.

Jack will finish the season playing for Claremont Colts football team who begin their finals campaign in September.

He is a two time Australian champion for the Flying Ant class, state champion for the 420 class and over the last 2 years has been in the top 3 nationally for the 420 class. In 2009 William was nominated for WA Youth Sailor of the Year.

In regards to school sailing William has served the team with distinction. He was captain of the team this year and was an excellent leader for the entire squad. He led the team superbly in both the state and national titles, finishing 2^nd overall for both regattas. William was also instrumental in making sure a 2^nd VII competed for the school at the state championships for the first time. William has shown great commitment and dedication to the squad over the years and in particular this year as captain.

SOCCER 2013

The following boys are awarded Colours for Soccer in 2013 and have previously received Colours.

SOCCER HONOURS - Yannick Livingstone

Achievements:

• Represented the WA State School Boys Soccer Team 2013
• Scotch First XI '11,'12, '13
• Colours for Soccer '12, '13
• Scotch First XI Fairest and Best '13

Yannick Livingstone has represented the Scotch First XI in 2011 and 2012, and was a pivotal member in the 2013 championship winning side. At six foot three and 85 kilograms, Yannick is an intimidating figure at centre back. To compliment his size and athleticism, Yannick has exceptional touch and skill making him the most dominant player in the PSA competition this year. Yannick has an innate ability to read the play, he knows when to leave his position, when to make a well-timed tackle and he rarely makes an error in his passing game. Yannick's bursting runs out of centre back have upset many sides this year and as centre back he has scored 3 goals. Yannick has a strong aerial presence, dominating sides defensively and posing a significant threat in any attacking moves. Perhaps Yannick's best attribute is his calm demeanour and exemplary sportsmanship. Whilst Yannick constantly competes to the maximum of his ability, he always maintains his composure and respectful nature towards referee and opposition players alike, making him an excellent example for all students at Scotch College. Yannick put Scotch College first at all stages this year, despite strong interest from senior club sides in the State league. This dedication to Scotch College has set a positive example to other players at the school and has led to our most successful season in recent history. Yannick represented WA in the 2013 State School Boys Soccer Team, competing in the national tournament in the ACT this term, where he gained a wealth of experience against the best players in Australia. For his talent, commitment and exemplary sportsman, it is with great pleasure that I recommend Yannick for honours.
