EMR Athletics 2024

On Wed 9 October we took a team of 50 students to the EMR Athletics Championships; a beautiful sunny day and no wind meant ideal conditions for our athletes. We successfully had 3 students make it through to the State Athletics Championships, an incredible achievement.  

Congratulations to the following athletes on making it through to State for the following events.  

Hailey Buckley 17 Girls – 100m Hurdles, 100m and 200m 

Holly Makaay 16 Girls – 800m and 1500m
