Northern Metropolitan Region Athletics 

The regional athletics carnival was held at Meadowglen International Athletics Stadium on Wednesday August 31. We had 26 students competing, with plenty of outstanding performances.

Special mentions to:

• Ruby Ozougwu ran a national qualifying time (12.97 seconds) in the 13 girls age group 100 metre sprint event.
• 13 girls age group 4x100m relay team that ran the fastest winning time (54.81 seconds) out of any girls relay team at the carnival, even though they were in the youngest age group race.

The following students won their events and have qualified for the State Athletics Carnival scheduled for Monday October 17 at Lakeside Stadium, Albert Park:

Ruby Ozougwu: 100m, 200m, Discus

Intermediate Boys Soccer - State Finals

Congratulations to the intermediate (year 9/10) boys soccer team for their performance at the state finals event at Darebin International Sports Centre on Thursday September 1. 

The team had a draw in each of the three matches played. 

Whilst it was not enough to progress through to the grand final, it meant the squad went through the division, region and state rounds without being beaten. A fantastic achievement.
