EDSC success at the 2023 SSV State Cross Country Championships!
Five of our most talented distance runners represented the College in the SSV Cross Country State Championships held at the Yarra Valley Racecourse during Week 1 of Term 3.
In cold, muddy and uncomfortable conditions, our students represented EDSC with pride and passion - pitting themselves against the best cross country runners in the state.
Results from the day are as follows:
Kryshant - 64th Boys 12-13 Years
Kriish - 65th Boys 12-13 Years
Yishan - 13th Boys 16 Years
Megan - 24th Girls 17-20 Years
Flynn - 9th Boys 17-20 Years
These are an outstanding set of results from our students and as a College we congratulate them - well done! Finishing in the top 30 is a significant achievement at this level.
We look forward to watching their progress in the coming years!

Three College records were broken on the day:

Our Age Champions, along with a large number of other students within the College will have the opportunity to represent the school in the Whitehorse Division Athletics Carnival on Wednesday 9 August at the Tom Kelly Athletics Track. These participants will be informed via an event on Compass over the next two weeks. We wish them all the best with their preparation and training in the lead up to this event.
Thank you to all students and staff for their efforts in making our 2023 carnival a huge success.
