2026 ACS Athletics Championships Preview

ACS Athletics Championships 2026

ACS Athletics Championships 2026
Monday 1 June | 10:00am – 5:00pm
Lakeside Stadium, Aughtie Drive, Albert Park

The stage is set for one of the most anticipated events on the ACS calendar, as the 2026 ACS Athletics Championships return to iconic Lakeside Stadium on Monday 1 June 2026. Schools from across the association will gather for a full day of track and field competition, with events commencing at 10:00am and concluding with the always electric relay finals in the afternoon.

For more than a decade, ACS Athletics has been defined by one of the great rivalries in school sport. The overall premiership has largely become a tug-of-war between Westbourne Grammar School and St Leonard’s College, with the two powerhouse programs repeatedly trading places at the top of the standings. In 2025, Westbourne reclaimed the ultimate prize in a thrilling championship, narrowly finishing ahead of St Leonard’s after another fiercely contested carnival.

But the chasing pack is closing fast.

St Michael’s Grammar School, Overnewton Anglican Community College and Loyola College have all made significant strides in their athletics programs in recent years, developing greater depth across both track and field disciplines and emerging as genuine threats to challenge for the championship.

The addition of Aitken College and Bacchus Marsh Grammar, combined with the continued growth of St Aloysius College, has transformed ACS Athletics into one of the most competitive and unpredictable carnivals in recent memory.

From explosive sprint races and tactical middle-distance battles, to high-pressure relays and dramatic field events, every point will matter as schools compete for year-level pennants and the coveted overall aggregate trophies.

With rivalries intensifying, emerging programs rising, and the standard of competition continuing to lift across the board, the question remains:

Who will claim the ultimate prize in 2026?

2026 ACS Swimming Championship Results

2026 ACS Swimming Carnival Recap and Results

Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre | Monday 30 March

The 2026 ACS Swimming Championships, held on Monday 30 March at MSAC, delivered one of the most memorable carnivals in recent years, combining ideal conditions, outstanding organisation, and an exceptional standard of racing across all eight ACS member schools.

Following last year’s dramatic 20-point result that saw Westbourne Grammar edge past St Leonard’s for the first time in a decade, anticipation was high heading into this year’s event. The 2026 Championships not only lived up to expectations, but raised the bar again, with close finishes, exceptional depth, and remarkable performances across every age group.

From the opening relays to the final freestyle events, the atmosphere throughout the venue was electric. A huge contribution to the day’s energy came from Matt Luczek (Loyola College), whose outstanding work as announcer helped lift the excitement and enjoyment of the championships. Behind the scenes, Matt Healy, Jack Robinson, Deb, Anthony, Julian, Alois and the Westbourne marshalling team, alongside school team marshals, officials and swim coaches, ensured the event ran with efficiency and professionalism throughout.

Westbourne Claims Overall Honours

At the conclusion of a fiercely contested day, Westbourne Grammar School claimed both the Overall Aggregate Cup and the Aggregate Boys Cup, continuing their strong recent form in the pool.

St Leonard’s College secured the Aggregate Girls Cup, underlining their continued excellence and depth across the female events.

The overall standings again highlighted the fierce rivalry between the leading schools, with St Michael’s Grammar and Overnewton applying strong pressure throughout the meet, while swimmers from Loyola, Bacchus Marsh Grammar, St Aloysius and Aitken all produced standout performances and valuable points contributions.

The individual leaderboards reflected the extraordinary talent on display, with Sophia (Westbourne) and Owen (Westbourne) both finishing on a perfect 100 individual points to top the girls’ and boys’ rankings respectively to win the Athlete’s of the Meet.

12 Records Broken in a Championship to Remember

One of the defining features of the 2026 Championships was the extraordinary speed in the pool, with 12 ACS records broken across individual and relay events.

The new ACS championship record holders are:

  • Eve (Overnewton, Year 11) – 50m Breaststroke (34.88)
  • Luna (St Leonard’s, Year 7) – 50m Freestyle (29.19)
  • Luna (St Leonard’s, Year 7) – 50m Butterfly (31.12)
  • Aiden (St Leonard’s, Year 9) – 50m Backstroke (30.01)
  • St Leonard’s College Year 8 Boys Medley Relay – Miles, Henry, Tristan, Ethan (2:11.63)
  • St Leonard’s College Year 8 Boys Freestyle Relay – Tristan, Henry, Tasman, Ethan (1:56.92)
  • St Leonard’s College Year 12 Boys Freestyle Relay – Benjamin, Jack, Harry, Max (1:44.98)
  • Andrew (St Michael’s, Year 8) – 50m Breaststroke (34.39)
  • Andrew (St Michael’s, Year 8) – 50m Butterfly (29.13)
  • Ethan (Westbourne, Year 7) – 50m Breaststroke (34.18)
  • Owen (Westbourne, Year 12) – 50m Freestyle (24.57)
  • Owen (Westbourne, Year 12) – 50m Butterfly (25.39)

A special highlight came in the Boys 14 Years 50m Breaststroke, where both Andrew (St Michael’s) and Henry (St Leonard’s) went under the previous championship record, producing one of the races of the day and perfectly capturing the standard of competition across the meet.

Inclusion and Participation Continue to Grow

Another major positive from the day was the successful inclusion of two multiclass events, providing more students with the opportunity to compete at one of Victoria’s premier swimming venues.

ACS remains committed to continuing this growth in multiclass participation, ensuring all students can experience the excitement, challenge and achievement of championship-level school sport.

Participation growth remains a major focus across ACS sport, with continued emphasis on supporting schools to maintain strong involvement- particularly encouraging girls to remain engaged in sport through their mid-teen years.

A Championship Built on Community

Beyond the medals, cups and records, the 2026 ACS Swimming Championships was a celebration of community, teamwork and school pride.

The professionalism of officials, the support of coaches, the commitment of school staff, and the enthusiasm of student-athletes combined to create an outstanding championship experience.

With thrilling races, record-breaking swims and incredible school spirit, the 2026 event has set a brilliant benchmark for the years ahead.

2025 ACS CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS

ACS 2025 CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS

The 2025 ACS Cross Country Championships were held on Friday 22 August at Bundoora Park, bringing together seven competing schools in what was a fantastic day of competition and school spirit. This year marked a special milestone as Aitken College joined the ACS Cross Country for the first time, making their debut with a strong and determined showing.

The event produced some outstanding performances, with two new course records set.

  • Hazel (Year 7 Girls – Westbourne Grammar)

  • Lila (Year 11 Girls – St Aloysius College)

Both runners delivered remarkable efforts to etch their names into the ACS history books.

Westbourne Grammar enjoyed a dominant day, claiming a clean sweep of the major trophies thanks to their depth and consistency across all age groups. However, the competition was fierce:

  • The boys’ section saw only a narrow margin between Overnewton and St Leonard’s in the race for second and third.

  • In the girls’ section, just a few points separated St Leonard’s from Westbourne in the battle for top spot.

The distribution of year level pennants highlighted the strength of the competition:

  • Overnewton – 4 pennants, particularly strong in the younger age groups, showing promising signs for the future.

  • St Leonard’s – 6 pennants, excelling in the upper year levels.

  • Westbourne – 8 pennants, reflecting consistency and depth across all divisions.

Importantly, most schools enjoyed the thrill of having runners stand on the podium, a wonderful outcome for the competition. Aitken College impressed in their debut appearance, with plenty of potential to build upon in future championships.

2025 ACS Chess Championship Recap and Results

2025 ACS Chess Championship Recap and Results

The 2025 ACS Chess Championship was held on Monday 19 May at the beautifully presented campus of St Michael’s Grammar School, who graciously hosted this year’s event. A big thank you to the staff and students at St Michael’s for their hospitality and efforts in delivering a fantastic day of competition.

A total of 78 players from all 8 ACS schools took part in this academic championship, marking a continued growth in student interest and school engagement.

The tournament was expertly overseen by Tim and his incredible team from Northern Star Chess. We extend our thanks to them for running a smooth and professionally managed event.

ACS Chess Tournaments use Swiss System format. Unlike traditional round-robin tournaments, the Swiss System pairs players with others who have similar scores after each round, ensuring balanced and competitive matchups without teammates playing against each other. It also allows for efficient and fair ranking of players over a limited number of rounds.

In a display of exceptional talent, Westbourne Grammar School went back-to-back, taking out the team title with a dominant score of 33.5 points. Congratulations to their entire team on this outstanding achievement. Bacchus Marsh Grammar and Overnewton Anglican Community College followed closely behind in 2nd and 3rd place respectively.

We would also like to thank the dedicated staff and coordinators from all schools for their hard work in preparing students and supporting the day’s operations. Your efforts continue to elevate the standard of ACS events.

Congratulations to all who participated and we look forward to seeing even more growth and competition in 2026!
