Emmanuel has a high quality Athletics program headed up by Mr David Reid (Level 4 Athletics Australia). Our elite junior athletes form one of the best school鈥檚 athletics squads in Australia. Emmanuel had 31 athletes who had made it through the qualifying process to Queensland State Championships, coming back with ten medals, and 29 top ten finishes. Over the past twelve months we have picked up six Australian track and field medals.
Our squad is mainly based on campus and covers the full spectrum of athletics events, and David is ably assisted by sprint, field event and long distance coaches. Our coaching philosophy is to develop technically competent, successful young athletes- but not at the expense of their long term participation/ development/ attainment.
Please review our squad video for a synopsis of our activities.
More information and the athletics training timetable can be found on Schoolbox.
