State Athletics Success

On Monday 20th October McClelland College had one of its most successful days at SSV State Athletics with the three athletes competing on the day, all walking away with silver medals. Mj Peters set the standard early with a second in the 16YO Girls 100m Hurdles, followed soon after by a second for Cayden Bell in the 15-16 Boys Multi Class Shot Put, and Bella Shaw rounded out the day with second in the 16YO Girls Long Jump. Cayden also finished 4th in the 200m and 800m, and 5th in the Long Jump and 100m, whilst Bella also finished 4th in the Triple Jump and 5th in the Javelin. Special mention to Kiara Triep who also won through to compete in the Discus. Unfortunately, for Kiara the day conflicted with the last day of Year 12 classes which took precedence.

The success on the Monday continued when these students participated in the Victorian All Schools Track and Field, which was run over the next two weekends and includes students from independent schools. In this competition, Cayden won gold in the 1500m and Javelin, silver in the 100m, 200m, 800m, Discus, Shot Put, and Long Jump and bronze in the 400m Multi Class events. Bella also medalled winning bronze in Triple Jump, and finished 11th in the Shot Put, whilst Mj finished 9th in the 100m Hurdles and 21st in the 100m. Jhett Triep also competed in the All Schools Track and Field and finished 17th in the 400m, 20th in the 100m, and 24th in the 200m.

Congratulations to all athletes involved for your outstanding results and representation of McClelland College at these events. Thank you also to the parents for your support of these students and providing transport to Lakeside Stadium.
