The school where water polo coach Lilie James was murdered has been plunged into lockdown after reports a man had threatened staff.

St Andrew’s Cathedral School, located in Sydney’s CBD, was locked down by police on Monday about 9.45am after reports a person had broken into the grounds.

Parents were alerted about the lockdown by text message, the Daily Mail reported.

The man allegedly “threatened staff and then returned to the campus”, a police spokesman told NewsWire.

“The school was placed in lockdown and a search of the building, on the corner of Druitt and Kent streets, was conducted with the assistance of specialist resources,” they said.

Despite “extensive searches”, the man could not be located.

He remains on the run, but the lockdown has since been lifted, according to police.

“An investigation is now under way into the incident, and inquiries continue to locate the man,” police said.

Initial reports from 7News indicate the man was wielding a weapon at the time of the incident, though this has not been confirmed by police.

Ms James was murdered by Paul Thijssen on the evening of October 25, 2023, when he cornered her inside a bathroom of the prestigious Sydney private school where they were colleagues.

The water polo coach died due to blunt force trauma to the head after being attacked with a hammer by her ex-partner, whom she had broken up with a few days before her murder.

Hours after the murder, Thijssen took his own life at Vaucluse, with his remains found in the rocks at Diamond Bay Reserve two days after Ms James’s murder.

ARLINGTON – On a terribly muggy day in Arlington, the Wildcats had a strong start for Day 3 in the field events as Kailey Roskop topped off her ACU career with a 4 th place finish in the discus (to go with her 3 rd place finish in the hammer). Donovan Ramirez finished 5th in the triple jump in his first outdoor championship after missing the entire 2024 with a medical redshirt. Ja’Dasia Sims completed her stellar ACU career with a 2 nd place finish in the high jump. Stone Smith finished his ACU career with a 5 th place finish in the discus. Luize Velmere just made the finals in the triple jump on her 3rd jump and she went on to finish 2nd in a huge personal best (PB) of 41-5.75/12.64 – moving her into the #8 all time on the ACU performance list.

On the track the premier performance came from Kenan Reil, who finished 3 rd in the 400 hurdles with a time of 52.52 in just his 2 nd time to run the event.

Finishing in 8th place were Hana Banks in the 100 hurdles in a time of 14.27 and Emma Santoro in the 400 in a

57.98.

To finish up the meet, the men placed 5th in the 4×400 with a time of 3:14.58 – a quartet

composed of Landon Gary, Canaan Fairley, Benjamin Castro, and Ethan Krause. That will give ACU a 5 th place finish in the team race with 56 points. The women’s team finished 5 th in the 4×400 relay with a time of 3:52.38, with Ja’Kaylon Record, Emma Santoro, Gracee Whitaker, and Jess Reyes running. The women’s team finished 6th with
