Senior School House Cross Country

Ben Bishop, Head of Sport 

 

It was a warm sunny spring afternoon back at our old House Cross Country course at EE Gunn Reserve for our annual House event on September 5.

Running the 3km course can be challenging, and students were asked to challenge themselves and set their own individual goals.  

Students demonstrated tremendous character and resilience in obtaining these goals, whether it was running continuously for 3km, running one full 1km loop before stopping and walking and going again, or qualifying for the EISM Cross Country team. It is always a proud moment to see students putting in their best effort.

House results:

  • Intermediate trophy (points from Y7-9) - Burman
  • Senior trophy (points from Y10-12) - Barrett
  • Aggregate trophy (total points including results from the Junior School event in March) - Burman

EISM Cross Country 2018

65 Kilvington students competed in the annual EISM Cross Country around Ruffey Lake Park in Doncaster. This is quite a challenging course, with many uphill climbs to test the runners as they make their way around the 3 and 4km courses.

As a school, Kilvington achieved strong results placing 4th overall in our Central Division. Congratulations to the 15YO boys who won their age group. There were some outstanding individual results with many Kilvington students placing in the top ten for their race.

Highlights of these were the following medalists :

  • Freya Watters - 1st place, 13 YO Girls
  • Charlotte Hallson - 3rd place, 15 YO Girls
  • Jett Ellaway - 3rd place, 15 YO Boys
  • Spencer Tighe-Martin - 2nd place, 16 YO Boys

All Schools Nitro Athletics

On the 13 September, 25 Kilvington students gathered at Lakeside Park for the inaugural running of the Nitro Athletics Schools Competition.

 

Loosely based on Usain Bolt’s initiative last year, all the top athletic schools in Victoria compete against each other in both traditional and more innovative athletic events.

 

Kilvington entered five teams in the Competition, with all students doing themselves and the School proud. Special mention must go to Gemma Craddock of Year 8, who finished first in her Javelin event with a throw of 33.87m - the best this season. Well done to all competitors.

Year 7 Girls Gala Day

On 14 September, 10 Year 7 girls competed in the inaugural EISM Girls Year 7 Cricket Gala Day.

 

The girls had been practising on a Tuesday lunchtime for the previous four weeks, so were eager and ready for the challenges that lay ahead. Despite finishing in 6th place, the girls had a great time, with many of playing for the first time!

For anyone interested in participating in cricket outside of School, our younger (5 - 10 YO) students may be interested in the Woolworths Cricket Blast - a fun and fast program for kids of all abilities.

 

Older students may be interested in joining a junior team in one of our many local clubs which feature new action packed junior formats with an all-girls competition also available.

All students did a great job in their events, with Liam Molloy winning the Discus and placing second in the Shot Put. This has qualified him to compete at the Regional Carnival to be held on October 18.
