Earlier this week a team of 79 students competed at the Combined Districts Secondary Schools Association (CDSSA) Cross Country Carnival at Centennial Park. These students had engaged in an excellent training program for the 7 weeks leading up to the event, training twice a week with the Emanuel running coach, Jordan Williams.

The weather conditions on Monday were perfect for running and the students appreciated the support of the many parents who attended. Brody Elbourne was a stand-out performer of the day, winning his 4km race by over 40 seconds. Excellent results included:

Jared Elbourne and Daniel Van Sluys Erlich

Brody Elbourne: 1^st place 14 Years boys

Shai Farhy: 2^nd place 12 Years boys

Gabriella Goodridge 2^nd place 16 Years girls

Allegra Goldman: 2^nd place 17 Years girls

Samara Trenaman: 3^rd place 15 Years girls

Jesse Gothelf: 4^th place 13 Years boys

Jacob Rose: 4^th place 15 Years boys

Jared Elbourne: 4^th place 16 Years boys

Aaron Harpaz: 5^th place 13 Years boys

Hannah Kim: 5^th place 13 Years girls

Victoria Miller: 5^th place 14 Years girls

Daniel Van Sluys Erlich: 5^th place 16 Years boys

As a result of such a successful carnival, 25 of our best long distance runners have now qualified for the Association of Independent Co-educational Schools (AICES) Cross Country Championships to be held next Tuesday. I wish all of these students the best of luck.
