Day 3 of the 2022 Australian Interschools Championships saw our Junior School ski and snowboard athletes close out their spectacular Nationals campaign with Div 5 Alpine, Div 5 Moguls and Div 4 Ski Cross. Our youngest racers were joined on piste by Div 1 Ski and Snowboard Slopestyle, Div 2 and 3 Snowboard GS, and Div 1 and 3 Snowboard Cross.

SMGS Director of Sport, Mr Martin Philpott, was proud of our students’ sportsmanship and spirit, saying, “It’s been a great competition so far. Well done to all our students who have embodied the school values of Courage, Authenticity, Respect and Empathy over the last three days of competition. I also want to thank our parents, staff and older students who supported our younger students at the event this week. Indeed, it takes a village, and we are an exceptional village!”

Div 5 racer Felix Hosie was excited with the Div 5 Male Mogul teams, which placed 1st and 2nd yesterday. He said, “I wanted to get a good turn score, but I knew that wasn’t enough on its own, and my jump had to be red hot. I was happy with my double twister and was blown away by the other boys’ airs.”

Div 4 racer Lilly Brauer echoed her teammates sentiment, saying, “competing in Interschools was such a fun time. I loved how everyone cheered for each other and there was such a nice, encouraging SMGS community. I can’t wait until it’s time to compete again next year!.”
