Emerald Secondary College

🏃‍♀️ Regional Cross Country Championships 🏃‍♀️

Emerald Secondary College was proudly represented by a large team of students at this year's Regional Cross Country Championships, with all competitors demonstrating determination, resilience and excellent sportsmanship throughout the event.

A special congratulations goes to Connor (Year 7), who achieved an outstanding result, finishing 8th in his age group and qualifying for the State Cross Country Championships. This is a fantastic achievement and a testament to his hard work and dedication.

We also congratulate Zac on an excellent performance, finishing 11th in his age group and narrowly missing qualification for the State Championships. His effort and determination were commendable, and he should be extremely proud of his result.

Well done to all students who represented Emerald Secondary College. We are incredibly proud of your efforts and the way you represented our school. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️👏
