The MGSC State Knockout athletics team has repeated their impressive performance in 2016 and won the 2017 State Knockout Championships. We entered two teams this year, a Junior team who finished 14th who gained valuable experience competing at a State event. Abbey T and Meka B both ran well in the 100m, Hope M and Holly T put in great times in the 800m, Michaela O tried her hardest in the hurdles, and Catriona M threw some good throws in the javelin and shot put. Cat also anchored the 4x200m run and overtook 3 runners in her heat.
The all impressive Intermediate team (2016 Junior gold medalist) who have won Gold again. We have had some very impressive results in the last few weeks and today tops them all. Competing as bottom age in the Intermediate age group, with three girls who could be in the junior team, and gunning for a top 5 result we exceeded all expectations and beat Firbank in 2nd and Caulfield Grammar in 3rd. Our girls were congratulated by countless private and public school coaches/teachers who all said that it is great to see a public school dominate an All Schools athletics competition. Zoe C was inspirational in winning the long jump, 2nd in the high jump and 3rd in the hurdles. Emily R won the shot put, Kisarna B won the javelin and ran a super 800m, Millie B put in another ripper 800m time, Milly W ran a great 100m and 200m, Aila B stepped up into the Inter team and ran a solid 100m, and Teiki W's 200m was excellent. The swedish medley team came in 3rd spot which was very valuable points. The Intermediate team is now off to Adelaide in December to compete at the National Knockout Championships. The team may change for Nationals depending on a variety of factors but in the meantime a huge congratulations to Kisarna B, Teiki W, Zoe C, Millie B, Milly W, Emily R, and Aila B on their Gold medal, and the junior team for representing the school at a State event. Go Mentone.

On Monday 11 September the Year 7 netball team played in the State Finals, which included the top eight teams in the state. The girls played three games throughout the day, competing against teams from Yarrawonga, Sale and Rowville. They put up a strong fight in all their games and showed excellent team spirit.
In the lead up to yesterday’s competition, the girls and their coaches were very committed with the team training each week for the past two terms. Well done to players Grace B, Tess C, Lilly C, Hope M, Ella M, Jordy M, Emma S, Alexandra S, Abigail W and Olivia W and student coaches Mikala C, Abby M, Olivia M, Tessa M, and Megan T for a wonderful a effort. The Victorian All School Relay Championships at Albert Park on Wednesday 6th September was an exciting competition for our seven teams. MGSC entered an U14 4x100m team who finished 9th on a lunge at the line, two U16 4x100m teams who finished 4th and 10th, and four medley relay teams (200-200-400-800). The two U14 medley teams came in 10th and 22nd, and the two U16 medley teams came in 2nd and 10th. The U16 Medley relay A team had a thrilling finish in the timed event taking second place by only 0.04 seconds! Milly W and Zoe C ran two super 200m splits, followed by Kisarna B's sprint 400m, and a truly sensational 800m effort by Millie B. Millie gut ran the entire 800m with her finish coming right down to the wire. The U16 medley team was equally as impressive with Chelsea R, Cat M, Teiki W and Holly T putting together a fantastic time. In the U14 events, Aila B, Meka B, Abbey T and Hope M all impressed in their 100m and medley relay events. Congratulations to all our representatives and good luck at upcoming events including Vic All Schools Knockouts, followed by Regional and State Athletics next term. Go Mentone!
