Secondary Sports News
Athletics
A big congratulations to Coco Espie (Year 11) who competed at the World Para Athletics Championships that were held in New Delhi, India over the holidays. Coco competed in the 100m, 400m and 800m events and performed very well being the youngest competitor in her category. A particular highlight was seeing her racing against the British World Champion Hannah Cockroft.
We are all so proud of you Coco.
Touch
Some belated news from Touch. The Rooster Rockets were a combination of Year 7 SCEGGS students who competed in the Eastern Suburbs Touch Association Winter Competition. The team was coached by the SCEGGS Touch Captain Olivia Davis (Year 11) who volunteered her time and did a terrific job after seeing the team warm up in week 1.
The team played incredibly well together and have developed significantly over the season. They finished with a 8-1 win in their final match. We look forward to watching them in action in the Term 4 Easts Touch comp.
Cross Country
Well done to Ruby Fry (Year 12) who competed at the Australian All Schools Cross Country Championships that were held in QLD. Ruby placed 14th Overall in the 18 years 6km event. She won the Gold Medal in the 2km time trial, and her NSW team also won the gold medal. Well done Ruby and good luck as you complete your HSC exams.

Congratulations to Isla Oxley (Year 9) and Scarlett Webber (Year 10) who represented the NSW team at the Australian Interschools Equestrian Championships over the holidays (and Georgina Sharp from Year 5 and Alessandra Voitenko Turner from Year 6 from the Primary school).
