EMC Sport – Term 4 Highlights
Term 4 has been an exciting and successful period for sport at EMC, with students representing the college across a range of competitions and achieving some outstanding results. From Southern Metropolitan Region (SMR) competitions to state championships, our students have demonstrated determination, teamwork and pride in representing EMC.
At the SMR Athletics Championships, 25 students represented the college, with four athletes qualifying for the State Championships. Congratulations to Sienna Fleisner in the 400m, Molly Gilligan in shot put, Cody McDonald in high jump and Asha Morrow in the 1500m on progressing to the next level.
The success continued at the State Athletics Championships, where Asha Morrow claimed the state championship title in the 1500m an outstanding achievement. Cody McDonald, Molly Gilligan and Sienna Fleisner also performed strongly, each finishing fifth in their respective events. Congratulations to all four athletes on their efforts and achievements.
Our SMR Year 8 Girls Hockey team also secured qualification for the State Championships, while the SMR Intermediate Girls Basketball team produced a thrilling victory to book their place at state. The Year 8 Girls Futsal team also celebrated success, taking out their competition. These results reflect the commitment and teamwork displayed by our students throughout the term.
In cricket, the SMR Intermediate Girls team fought hard against strong opposition but ultimately fell short. Their effort and resilience were commendable, and they represented EMC with pride.
With more competitions still to come, there are plenty of opportunities for our students to build on these achievements. Upcoming events include SMR Intermediate Girls Hockey, SMR Year 7 Girls Basketball and SMR Year 7 Girls Cricket, alongside State Championships for Year 7 Softball, Year 8 Baseball, Year 8 Hockey and Intermediate Girls Basketball.
We look forward to seeing our students continue to compete with enthusiasm, determination and sportsmanship as they represent EMC in the coming weeks. We will also celebrate the achievements and contributions of our sporting community at the EMC. Sports Awards Night on 7 December.
Congratulations to all students and coaches involved in Term 4 sport so far. Your hard work, commitment and school spirit continue to make EMC proud!
Nominations are also now open for the EMC Sport Honour Board. This is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate students who have achieved outstanding success in sport and made significant contributions while representing the college. We encourage students, staff and the wider EMC community to submit nominations and help acknowledge the sporting achievements of our students.
