St Leonard’s College is celebrating a remarkable double victory as our athletics and swimming teams showcased exceptional talent and determination in recent competitions.
“
Hard work and teamwork led to fantastic results for our Athletics and Swimming teams.”
ACS Athletics Champions
Our College Athletics team had an outstanding victory at the ACS Athletics on 20 May. Our girls secured first place in their section, and the boys achieved a close second, leading to an overall win. This marks our fourth ACS Athletics title in the last six years, redeeming last year’s narrow defeat to Westbourne. This victory, combined with our ACS Swimming title from term 1, outlined below, highlights our exceptional athletic program. Our students deserve high praise for their performance and sportsmanship. It was a fantastic team effort.
A Decade of Dominance Continues with Tenth Consecutive ACS Championship Title
The St Leonard’s College swimming team clinched their tenth consecutive ACS Swimming Championship title on Tuesday, 12 March, at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre. They swept the trophies for Girls, Boys, and Overall Champions, showcasing impressive skill and resilience.
Congratulations to Head Coach Jackson Sainty, our dedicated swimming coaches, and the entire team for their outstanding performance. Standout individual performances include Giselle (Year 12) and Lucy (Year 8), who claimed top honours among female swimmers, and Alex (Year 11), who stood out among male swimmers. Notably, Lucy also broke ACS records in both the 50m and 100m freestyle events.
These victories are a testament to the collective effort and exceptional athletic prowess of our students. Well done to all involved in these historic achievements!
