Middle School Sport Update
As we draw nearer to the end of another year of great successes in the sporting arena within the Middle School, I would like to extend my thanks to all the boys for the commitments they have made along the way in achieving their personal bests. In addition the parent support has been terrific to watch and without your efforts there is no possible way the boys could forge the memories they have made. Finally I would like to thank the staff and coaching body who have been tremendous in creating an environment that has fostered success and I am very grateful for their assistance.
All sport will cease at the end of Week 7. The boys have now made their selections for next year.
The annual MS Staff v Student Cricket Match will take place on Tuesday 3 December at 3:30pm.
Triathlon Success
On Thursday 7 and Friday 8 November the Middle School triathletes took to Champion Lakes to test their skills. Thursday saw all the individual athletes compete in the 200m swim, 10km ride and 2km run. Former Middle School student Riley Walker (8, She) came a credible 3rd, whilst Joshua Quartermaine placed 17th. Friday's event the Team races were held at the same venue. In total Scotch College fielded seven teams and dominated the race. A fierce maroon battle shaped the morning race of 200m swimming, 6km of riding and finally 2km sprint running. This culminated in the team consisting of Cooper Lindsay (7T), Jack Knobel (7L) and Jack Cooley (7L) winning the event in an astonishing 22:09 and the team of Rupert Currie (6O), Joshua Quartermaine (7T) and Luca Fry (6C) placing 2nd only 45 seconds later. Our accumulated times from the teams placed us 10 minutes in front of the next school and Scotch College defended their 2012 title as Champion School for 2013. Congratulations to all competitors for a sensational performance.
