ACC Swimming Carnival “G” Division

For the first time in College history, Holy Cross won an ACC event – overall school champion in the G Division Swimming Carnival held at Challenge Stadium on Tuesday 18 March 2014. 

Our success can be directly attributed to the hard work, preparation and commitment on the day of all students involved. What was even more pleasing was the spirit of the team – it was an amazing experience.

The girls had a very successful day, collecting two trophies – Junior Girls and Overall Girls. There were very few weaknesses, with the junior girls rewarded for their outstanding training. 
 

The boys’ competition was very tough with other schools proving to be quality opposition. To finish fourth, only 24 points from first, was a creditable effort.

There were a number of individual highlights and these particular students were recognised with age champions and runner-up champions:

Under 13 Female Champion – Michaela Maynard
Under 14 Female Champion- Dannielle Perry
Under 15 Female Champion- Talia Catlin
Under 15 Male Runner-Up Champion- Thomas Stewart
Open Female Champion- Jo-Anna Maynard
Open Male Runner-Up Champion- Christopher Lee

Swim Captains, Jo-Anna Maynard and James Evans swam brilliantly on the day, whilst encouraging and supporting the team to go for personal bests in their races.

The Physical Education Department are very proud of all of these achievements and with similar application we can see no reason why we cant be competitive in the F Division in 2015! It is certainly exciting times at Holy Cross College.

I would sincerely like to thank and acknowledge the efforts of our coaches – Mr Elliott, Miss Wainwright and Mr Buckley.
