It was wonderful to see a large team of 69 students representing Emanuel at the CDSSA Athletics Championships on Monday. These athletes were selected to compete based on their achievements at the School athletics carnival last term.

The team had been training for the past six weeks, at Queens Park and Hensley Athletics Field, under the guidance of the School’s running coach Jordan Williams. Jordan is an experienced athlete and coach and is also the founder of Up and Running.

Emanuel were placed third at the carnival, out of 11 schools, which was a pleasing result. The Emanuel Athletics Captain, Greg Allen, was awarded the 17 years CDSSA Age Champion award and lead by example on the track.

Danielle Rutstein and Jett Sher set new CDSSA records, in high jump and javelin respectively. Shai Farhy, Eden Levit, Brody Elbourne and Zac Urbach, were all outstanding performers, and have now qualified for numerous events at AICES. Overall, 28 Emanuel students have been selected for the next level carnival to be held on Friday 14 September.
