Redlands Athletics Team
I have never been prouder of a bunch of Redlands students for their efforts in a Carnival yesterday. The Redlands Athletics team showed amazing courage and determination in some of the tightest finishes I’ve seen at HICES Athletics over the years. Led by Sports Captains Stella Simpson Morgan and Lachlan Carmichael, our team narrowly missed the championship, finishing second by the narrowest of margins to Central Coast Grammar.
Lachie in particular led from the front and whilst we’re still waiting on official individual results will undoubtedly qualify in numerous events after finishing first, dominating in some events and out-gritting some really tough opponents.
Our boys were particularly strong, Joel Daily again breaking records. Joel’s 4.40m Long Jump set a new mark for all HICES Schools for Junior Boys. He then anchored the 4x100m Junior Boys relay to a new HICES record of 1.00.03. Joel along with Daniel and Jeffrey Benoleil and Ash Corn go into the HICES record books as the fastest Junior Boys team of all time!
Netball
Semi Finals time is always tough and as one would expect, the games are close and emotions run high. Our Redlands 18 team battled hard last Friday night in their elimination Semi Final, but just came up short, losing 9-5. Big improvers this season, the R13 girls, pushed hard all game and the result is a true reflection of their evolution this season. The final result closer than their last match up.
Redlands 13 live to fight another day after narrowly going down last Saturday morning. Up against the first place finisher and a team they haven’t beaten all season. Our girls were right in it, losing by just a point. They have another chance to reach the Grand Final with a knockout Semi Final match this Saturday.
IPSHA Gymnastics
Our After School Gymnastics Club has entered into the IPSHA Gymnastics Carnival in Term 4 and are looking for any club level 3 or above gymnasts who are keen to represent Redlands at this Carnival. The team will train Mondays during lunchtime in the leadup. Any interested gymnasts should contact juniorsport@redlands.nsw.edu.au for information.
Girls’ AFL
The Girls AFL juggernaut continues to roll with all of our three teams playing hotly contested footy. The skills and match play continue to improve week to week and judging by the smiles – our girls are having a blast! Pictured at top.
Snowsports
There were great results from our Junior School Snowsports teams at Perisher last week. More details are available in Mr Campbell’s Snowsports wrap, but rest assured Redlands skiiers owned the mountain.
