Cross Country St Joseph’s won the Associate Catholic Colleges Division 1 Cross Country for the first time ever at the ACC 2017 Cross Country event at Bundoora Park on 13 September. This is a first time win for the College in a carnival event. Being 27 points behind going into the Senior Division, the boys put in a fantastic effort and came from behind to win! With SJC place getters in the Under 14, Under 15, Under 17 and Open there was a top effort accross all age levels. We have gradually been creeping up the ranks coming in 6th,5th,4th,3rd,2nd,2nd over the past six years. Congratulations to all of the students who took part. Thank you to former Coach Luke O’Grady who set such a strong foundation, Co-Coaches Tom Cashin and Matt Walsh have formed strong bonds with the lads in thier first year of teaching at St Joseph’s, Patrick Prendergast for organising the Westcourt Campus runners, Bryson Milverton for his organisation and encouragement, Jane and Karen in the Canteen for providing breakfast twice a week for three months, Tony Paatsch for attending the carnival and speaking to the boys at singlet presentation, all the PE staff who assisted with talent ID in PE classes and the Maintenance staff for getting all the gear together. Of special note is that Ollie Hanneysee and Lewis Antonac both ran for our seniors even though they had a Colts
preliminary football final on for St Joseph’s. Brayden Ham and Doyle Madigan also ran admirably whilst being immersed in Football finals for Torquay Colts and St Mary’s seniors. This is unprecedented and exemplifies the boys commitment to win after so many close finishes. We are looking forward to next year. - Glenn Kemp OVERALL RESULTS 1st St Joseph’s 679 2nd St Bede’s 711 3rd St Bernard’s 857 U/13 99 U/14 144 U/15 111 U/16 173 U/17 72 SENIOR 80 INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCES U 14 3RD Tim Hannan U 15 1ST Tom Hockley-Samon U 15 2ND Noah Gadsby U 17 2ND Doyle Madigan U 17 3RD Paul Kanellos Senior 3RD Hugh McMahon (Captain)
