Victorian All Schools Athletics Championships
The Victorian All Schools Athletics Championships were held at Lakeside Stadium over the weekends of 29 October and 30 October and 5 November and 6 November. Tintern Grammar had three students competing:
Amelie Scherer
Amelie represented Tintern proudly and competed in the Under 15 1500m and 800m events. She made the final for both 1500m and 800m. Amelie was racing against seasoned National level competitors and can hold her head high as she ran very well. This was such a wonderful experience for her. Amelie unofficially broke the EISM record for the 1500m in her heat with a time of 5.07:87.
Kayla Paton
Kayla competed in the U/13 Girls 100m and 200m events. In the 100m, she qualified for the semis with a time of 13.54 sec but didn’t qualify for the finals. In the 200m, Kayla qualified for the semis with a time of 27.99 sec but didn’t qualify for the finals. However, Kayla achieved personal best times in both events, for which she should be proud of her performances.
Heath Fox
Heath competed in the Under 15 Boys Javelin. Heath produced some excellent throws to win the javelin event. Heath is officially Victorian All Schools U15 Boys Javelin State Champion! He threw a distance of 42.31m. Heath will be representing Victoria at the Australian All Schools Athletics Championships in Adelaide in December. Best of luck Heath!
