team, comprising of Tim Robinson, Joe Whelan, Joel Vozzo and<br />
James Sinclair, was placed second amongst CAS schools. Tim<br />
Robinson did wonderfully well to play in the 10As’ football game and<br />
then turn up to run. He was the best placed of our runners in this age<br />
group. In the 14s, James McFadden and Ben Vozzo stood out.<br />
Whilst on running, athletics trainings continue this term at Rotary<br />
Oval on Mondays and Thursdays. The athletics season is only two<br />
weeks away. Interested athletes should attempt to make it to one of<br />
these trainings each week. Year <strong>11</strong> swimmer Matt Jepson is<br />
competing at Nationals this week. At this goes to print, Matt has<br />
already won gold in the 200 metres freestyle. Well done, Matt.<br />
For the first time in a number of years, a rugby lunch will be held, on<br />
12 <strong>August</strong>, at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth. The lunch will be<br />
dedicated to celebrating <strong>Aloysius</strong>’ rugby, past and present. Over the<br />
last few years, many ex-students have gone on to playing rugby at the<br />
highest level. This season we had three ex-students playing at Super<br />
15 level, including Wallaby Patrick McCabe (SAC 2005), Jonathon<br />
Owens (SAC 2004) and Tom Kingston (SAC 2009). Tom, only<br />
recently, played for Australia’s U20s’ team in Italy and also this<br />
season received the NSW Waratahs’ Rookie of the Year award.<br />
Bernard Foley (SAC 2007) is the current Captain of the Australian 7s’<br />
team. Also, we have a number of boys playing in the 1sts grade Shute<br />
Shield competition, including three captains!! We are hoping to have<br />
all of the above at the lunch. Rugby legend, Mark Ella, is our guest<br />
speaker. Ex-parent and well-known radio celebrity, Murray Olds, will<br />
MC the function. It should be a wonderful occasion. We would love<br />
to see all rugby enthusiasts there. There is a flier later in this<br />
newsletter with more details, including how to book.<br />
This weekend, the College plays Waverley College in all sports in<br />
CAS Round 9 of competition. 1sts teams are playing at home. Good<br />
luck to all coaches and players. The cross country this week is at<br />
Centennial Park, 10.00am, hosted by Sydney High. Tae Kwon Do is<br />
in the gym at 8.30am.<br />

By the 1980s Javelin throwers were<br />
getting such distances – almost 105<br />
metres – that because of safety concerns<br />
at events, the IAAF decided to change<br />
the design of Javelins so that they could<br />
not be thrown as far. Since the change in<br />
design, there has been one dominant<br />
Javelin thrower – Železný! Jan Železný is a<br />
world and Olympic champion and world<br />
record holder in the javelin throw. He holds all<br />
five of the top 5 javelin performances of all<br />
time. Železný won the gold at the 1992, 1996<br />
and 2000 Summer Olympic Games and silver<br />
in the 1988 Olympics. Because of his<br />
achievements he is widely considered to be the<br />
greatest javelin thrower ever. Železný holds<br />
the world record, at 98.48 metres (323 ft 1 in)<br />
set in 1996. Železný has made 52 throws over 90 meters, more than<br />
all other javelin throwers combined. He is also the only athlete to<br />
throw more than 94 meters with the new type of javelin, something<br />
he achieved five times.<br />
