EUROA Secondary College continues to demonstrate its athletic prowess, achieving a commendable 14th place out of 35 schools in the overall scores at the recent Hume Region Athletics competition.

This remarkable accomplishment is all the more impressive considering that Euroa Secondary College is one of the smaller secondary colleges in the region.

Throughout the day, these students showcased their athletic prowess, earning an impressive total of 14 placings.

Among these accolades, they secured two first-place finishes, nine second-place finishes, and three third-place finishes.

Matilda Kubeil emerged as a star performer, claiming victory in the fiercely competitive 14-year girls' 100m sprint.

Meanwhile, Danny Williams exhibited exceptional endurance, triumphing in the 16-year boys' 800m run.

Their remarkable achievements have earned them the honor of representing both Euroa Secondary College and the Hume Region at the prestigious State athletics competition scheduled for Monday, October 16, at Lakeside Stadium in Melbourne.

The entire Euroa Secondary College community is thrilled for Matilda and Danny as they prepare to compete at the State Athletics event.

Their dedication, hard work and outstanding performances have propelled them to this elite level of competition, and they are sure to make their school proud on the state stage.

Special thanks are extended to Mr. Bott and Mrs. Saxon for their invaluable support and guidance, ensuring that the students were well-prepared and able to shine at the Hume Region Athletics event.
