Go for 2 & 5 WA All Schools Championships 2017

Go for 2 & 5

On the weekend of 27-29 October a number of St Norbert College students competed in the Go for 2 & 5 WA All Schools Championships 2017 held at the WA Athletics Centre. I was fortunate to be able to attend on Saturday evening and was proud of the way our students represented themselves in competition and our yellow athletics singlets definitely stood out from the crowd! I saw a number of our students on course whether they were competing or spectating and was delighted to see Alex DeSilva presented with his gold medal in the U/14 Boys Hammer Throw and a bronze medal in the U/14 Boys Shot Put, along with Caleb Yende-Emoko being awarded a bronze medal for the U/14 Boys High Jump – a terrific performance competing in the older age group. Well done to Holly Giles, Zeta Stevens and Francesco Tilli who I saw compete as well. Congratulations to all students who competed over the three days with special mentions to the following students who qualified for the Australian All Schools Championship held in Adelaide in December:

• MJ Jansen van Rensburg**

• Jordan-Blaze Lightbourn****
• Alex De Silva**
