Representative Athletics

Term 3 has provided great opportunities for our elite athletes. On Friday 14 September a team of 24 of Emanuel’s best athletes competed at the AICES Athletics Championships at Sydney Olympic Park Athletics Centre.

The day was a great success, with all students in the team representing the School with integrity and enthusiasm. Excellent achievements included:

• Danielle Rutstein – 1^st place in high jump
• Greg Allen – 4^th place in 100m and 200m
• Alex Burman – 5^th place in shot put
• Brody Elbourne – 5^th place in 3000m
• Shai Farhy – 3^rd place in high jump and 4^th place in long jump
• Max Kidman – 4^th place in discus
• Eden Levit – 2^nd place in 100m and long jump, 4^th place in 200m and high jump
• Tia Mallinick – 4^th place in high jump
• Samara Trenaman – 5^th place in 3000m.

Danielle Rutstein – Year 10

Greg Allen, Eden Levit and Danielle Rutstein, went on to represent AICES at the CIS Championships, the most prestigious competition within the independent schools system.

Greg, who is the Emanuel Athletics Captain, had a very successful day. He received the bronze medal in the 100m with a time of 11.85s and also placed 4^th in the 200m. Eden also performed very well, at what was her first CIS High School Championships, placing 4^th in both the 100m and long jump.

Well done to all of the students who have been part of the Emanuel Athletics program over the last few months and congratulations to those students who have achieved their personal best. This week, several Emanuel athletes will be competing at the NSW All Schools Athletics Championships and I wish these students the best of luck.
