School Sport SA Cross Country Championships

During week 7 approximately 20 Renmark High School students travelled down for the School Sport SA Cross Country Championships. Like previous years we expected the conditions to be cold and wet, making the 3km – 6km run (depending on your age group) to be quite a challenge, especially on the heavy track.

Congratulations to all of the students who participated and challenged themselves against some of the best runners in South Australia. At the completion of the race many students were relieved that they were done and highlighted how tough the uphill climb was at the back of the track (especially on their second lap).

Some of the stand out performances include:

  • 3rd Taj Saatze (Multiclass)
  • 3rd Stephen Files, Ethan Evans and Lachlan Keynes (U13 team event)
  • 10th Haylee Poulish (U20 girls)
  • 12th Olivia Dawe (U20 girls)
  • 15th Lucas White (U14 boys)

A special mention goes to Bailey White who finished 1st in the U15 race after having a good battle with some of his mates that he’s trained/competed with over the past few years.

All the best to those who are looking to represent the state at the event being held in Adelaide later this year.

Year 10 Girls School Sport SA Volleyball Finals

After moving through to the School Sport SA finals by the smallest margin (1 point), the girls travelled down on Friday (week 8) to challenge 5 other schools for the state title. The schools include Brighton, Concordia, Seaview, Heathfield and Reynella East.

It was always going to be a tough ask, coming up against some of well-known volleyball schools in South Australia but the girls should be super proud of their efforts and use the opportunity in preparation for the Volleyball SA event later in the year.

Ms Ward said the girls improved across the day and challenged most teams reaching around 20 points in each set, but unfortunately fell short each game. Well done girls on making the finals.

Volleyball trainings have commenced for all age groups across the week during lunch. Everyone is invited to come out for some fun while preparing for knockout cup and other events.
