College Sport

A lot of sport has occurred over the past two weeks with our Annual Swimming Carnival being, Diocesan boys and girls touch football and the Diocesan swimming carnival all taking place. Some outstanding efforts from our athletes were displayed over the past couple of weeks with some great results. The results from our swimming carnival will be released at our next school assembly revealing the winning house and our age group champions. The points tally finished very close as indicated below.
Deniel Vermeulen - YR 9
Congratulations to Deniel being crowned the fastest girl in Australia, but she’s just getting started. Daniel has been racing in her own kart reaching speeds of more than 115 kmh to win this year’s Pink Plate in Albury, a national level race, is close to her best effort. We are all so happy for Daniel and hope her ambitions of racing in the top circuits in the world comes true. Well done Deniel!
Charlise Zabat & Evangeline De Guzman
Charlise Zabat Year 11 and Evangeline De Guzman Year 9 attended their first International Training Camp and Competition in Thailand recently. Both students trained with one of the most renowned Taekwondo clubs in the world, Taweesilp Taekwondo. This club is known to have produced the most world champions at an international level.

Marist Basketball Team - Update
Things are heating up for our Boys Marist Basketball team with a fundraiser occurring at Bunnings BBQ at Gregory Hills over the weekend. They even had some special guests dropped by to wish the team good luck. This is the first tournament back since covid so students are understandably very excited to be going. From their current MISA form they will be fierce competition down in the Southern Capital playing against schools from all over Australia. The boys are ranked as the 14th best Marist Basketball team in Australia and will be hoping to cause some big upsets in Adelaide.

MISA Wrap Up - Round 4

10-12 Boys Basketball |
Win 53/43 VS JTCC |
Adam Prasad |
Students faced a highly physical John Terry team that pushed them hard in the first half. Playing in very hot conditions, scores were level at 28 all at half time. MCCC started to fall behind for the first time at the start of the second half, but determination and great teamwork pulled them just ahead with 10 minutes to go. In the last 10 minutes the fitness and discipline of MCCC paid dividends as the boys took control of the play and pushed hard against an increasingly exhausted John Terry. The team ended up 16 points ahead displaying great perseverance and grit. Well done boys! |

10-12 Girls Basketball |
Win 53/26 VS JTCC |
Alexis Brunt |
A” hot” win for our senior girls who played a smart game of bball. They conserved their energy, relaxed into their shots and connected really well with each other. On defence the girls are unstoppable. Well done girls |

10-12 Boys Oz Tag |
Los 6-3 VS MAG |
DeAngelo Finau |
MCCC played well against an evenly matched Magdalene side. Both teams were scoring try for try for the majority of the match. Magdalene scored a few quick tries which blew out the lead to 3. A good game played by all. Outstanding sportsmanship was demonstrated by both teams. |

10-12 Girls Oz Tag |
Loss 11-0 VS MAG |

A tough game against a red hot Magdalene. The girls tried their hardest until the end but unfortunately Magdalene were ruthless in their approach and ran over the top of our girls. |
|
7-9 Girls Hockey |
Los 1-0 VS WAC |
Whole team effort | Coming up against Wollondilly again in this week's draw the girls had a much improved outing. In round 1 the team went down 7-0 and after just three games under their belt as a group they managed to put in a far better contest walking away conceding only one goal. That first win is not far off now. |
|
7-9 Boys Softball |
Win 10-1 VS MAC |
Baxter Bastoli |
The boys had a strong, dominant first and second innings, with clever base running and excellent hitting power driving in 5 runs from each innings. Fantastic work from our battery attack saw Macarthur Anglican go scoreless to finish out the first dig. While a couple of changes in pitchers to help beat the heat meant that we allowed a run to score before taking the win. |
|
7-9 Girls Indoor Cricket |
Loss - 71/104 VS MAC
|
Eliana D'Coutho |
Another tough loss for the girls. They have been improving with the bat but struggling to take wickets and keep their opposition run tall down. Regardless, the improvement from recent weeks has been very encouraging. Well done girls! |
|
7-9 Boys Volleyball |
Win 3-0 VS BAC |
Sebastian Ratajczak |
The Boys cruised to victory again flying past Broughton. Good teamwork among the boys and disciplined approach saw them take a very quick 2 games to nil lead gaining the boys the result. Well done to all. |

7-9 Girls Volleyball |
Win 2-0 VS BAC
|
Dominique Bzdega |
Today the girls carried their winning streak into another week with a 2-0 win against BAC. The game was great to watch and all girls demonstrated fantastic sportsmanship and are to be commended for their team spirit. Congratulations! |
