The 2015 St Joseph’s College surfing competition saw 42 surfers head to Jan Juc in Week 3 of Term 1 to compete for a place in the SJC surf team for the state titles and for the crown of the schools best senior and junior surfer. In the junior division, third place went to Dylan Hart, second place went to James Hughes, and the 2015 Junior Surfing champion was Xavier Huxtable. Xavier has had a very successful year competing in many competitions around Australia and his results have placed him amongst the best junior surfers in the country. Well done Xavier.
In the senior division, third place went to Josh Cammarere, second place went to Lewis Oates, and the 2015 Senior Surfing champion was Casey McCrohan. Casey has won the senior title three years in a row as a Year 10, 11 and senior student.

He was chosen as the captain of the schools surf team and was incredibly successful in that role. He has been a great representative of surfing at St Joseph’s in his time here and he will be missed by the surf team when he graduates at the end of this year. Congratulations Casey. In this year’s Victorian Independent Schools State Championships, Casey McCrohan, Lewis Oates, Josh Cammarere, Cameron Drake, Dylan Hart, Xavier Huxtable, James Hughes, Indie White and Rikki Bell-Warren competed in and won the event! This was a great achievement as St Joseph’s College has not won the state title in at least a decade. All of the students surfed incredibly well but Rikki from Sacred Heart must get a special mention. St Joseph’s would not have been able to compete with a full team unless Rikki agreed to surf with us and she provided everyone with an entertaining finish as she sprinted through the finish line milliseconds before the final siren. Thank you to Mr Wilcox, Mr Davies, Cameron Lamperd, Simon Forward and Mark Hudson for organising and judging the St Joseph’s College Surfing Competition.
