Girls Grammar Sporting Highlights: Athletics, Futsal & Age Champion Corrections

Capricornia Athletics Trials Results

Girls Grammar was proudly represented by 14 athletes competing on behalf of the Rockhampton District at the Capricornia Athletics Trials in Mackay last week. The Girls Grammar athletes had amazing success with many podium placings and eight students being selected in the Capricornia team to attend the QLD Track and Field Championships in Townsville in October.

Congratulations to the following students on their Capricornia selections:

·         Tiffany Walker – 10 Years Tetrathlon 2^nd place

·         Charlee Crethar – 12 Years Shot Put 2^nd place and Long Jump 1^st place

·         Alexandra Malcolm-Freeman – 13 Years 100m 3^rd place

·         Ella Lewis – 13 Years Javelin 2^nd place

·         Laine Kelly – 14 Years Triple Jump 3^rd place

·         Isabel Briault – 15 Years 100m 4^th place

·         Mackenzie Burridge – 16 Years Javelin 1^st place

·         Jalime Wosomo – 17 Years 100m 1^st place and 200m 4^th place

Unfortunately, there are qualifying distances and not every top 4 place gets selected. We would like to congratulate some of our other notable performances:

·         Vivian Mosby – 16 Years Shot Put 3^rd place

·         Dolly Byrnes – 12 Years Discus 3^rd place

·         Grace Absolon – 15 Years Shot Put 3^rd place

Well done to all athletes on a great performance.

Representative Selections

Congratulations to Gemma Albert (13-14yrs) and Abbey Walker (15-16yrs) on their selection for RDS Futsal teams.

The Capricornia Futsal trial was held earlier this week, and we have received notification that Abbey was selected in the 15-16yrs Capricornia team to attend the state titles in October at the Gold Coast.

Well done to both girls on a great performance at your trials.

Correction – 11 Years Athletics Age Champion

We would like to acknowledge a correction to the results from the 11 Years Athletics Age Champion standings. Due to a technical error, the achievements of Lilah (2^nd place) and Ivy (3^rd place) were not recognised at the time of the event. We sincerely apologise for this oversight and congratulate both girls on their outstanding performances.

The girls were awarded their ribbons in a short presentation with the Year 5 and 6 classes last week.

Well done Lilah and Ivy!
