The Old Scotch Athletic Club enjoyed great success , winning the premiership in division five of the Athletics Victoria Shield . This program has gone from strength to strength in recent years , with many current boys participating each week . Nine boys involved with the program qualified to represent Victoria in the National Championships in Adelaide in April – Rory Vial and AJ Merry ( both Year 12 ), Conor Sullivan and Sam Allen ( both Year 11 ), Tom Roach , Bart Leeton and Lachlan Gumley ( all Year 10 ) and Junior School boys Jayden Millie and Mark Ballantine ( both Year 6 ).
The future of athletics is bright at Scotch , with Llywy Schoenborn ( Year 8 ) and James Hall ( Year 5 ) winning Little Athletics State Championship events . Llywy won the under 14 shot put , while James won three events , the 400m , 800m and 1500m . I am sure our boys will be looking forward to the APS Athletics season later in the year with great excitement .
Eleven boys made the APS Representative sides this summer season . Luka Jevtic was named as Captain of the Futsal Merit team , while Harry Jones , Jifan Liu and Emerson Hodder were named as Vice Captains respectively of the Cricket , Table Tennis and Touch Football teams .
