Athletes to take on the Nation
Last week, Mercedes College had four athletics teams venture to Salisbury for the annual ASA Golden North Championships where they competed to qualify for the Schools’ Nationals Competition in December.
Congratulations to everyone who took part – but we give special mentions to the “double point” nominees Maggie (Year 8, Fitzpatrick) in 800m Junior Girls, Hayley (Year 9, Dalton) in 100m Intermediate Girls, Charlie (Year 9, Dalton) in Long Jump Junior Boys, and Max (Year 9, Barry) in Shot Put Intermediate Boys.
Both Boys’ teams finished in fifth place, while our two Girls’ teams both qualified for the Nationals, coming first (Junior) and second (Intermediate) – brilliant effort girls!
