EDSC Success at the 2022 EMR Cross Country Championship!
Four of the best long distance runners at the College have advanced to the SSV State Finals after competing at the EMR Cross Country Championships held at the Yarra Valley Racecourse in late Term 2.
After the region and state events being cancelled in 2020 and 2021, it was great to see our students participating in cross country at this level and doing extremely well!
- Maisie won the 14 year girls event in a time of 12:25.56 over the 3km course - 15 seconds ahead of her nearest opponent!
- Flynn was second in the 16 year boys with a time of 18:23.98 over 5kms.
- Maddie (16 year girls) and Megan (17 year girls) qualified for the next level of competition, both finishing 7th in their respective races.
Congratulations to these students and the rest of the team that represented the college on the day!

Virtual SSV Cross Country (Run-Walk-Ride)
It’s time to get thousands of feet moving across Victoria with students having the chance to have fun while getting active!
Primary and secondary students from Government, Independent and Catholic schools have the opportunity to participate in School Sport Victoria's Virtual Cross Country in 2022 as part of SSV Play.
SSV Play aims to engage less active students and those not currently participating in interschool sport, through a variety of sport and physical activities.
Virtual Cross Country encourages students to go for a walk, jog or run and record their results to earn virtual points for their school.
In 2022, SSV is encouraging students to go for at least one run, jog or walk a week over a 4 week period in either Terms 2 and or Term 3 to support more regular participation in being active.
Students can take part in their own time or participate in an organised school event.
The main aim is for students to give it a go and have fun or even achieve a personal best distance or time.
Students participating in the Virtual Cross Country will earn virtual points for their school, with awards provided to schools with the highest participation. Students can also choose to have their results made public, but that is not mandatory.
Further information can be found at;
Virtual Cross Country is now open! Entries close on 16 September 2022.
