2022 National Bouldering Team Selection Competition

Dylan Parks (Year 11) recently competed for selection in the International Open Team for Bouldering. The top three places received automatic selection with Dylan missing out by one place, coming in fourth. This is an incredible achievement by such a young man, and I am sure we will see him in the team and representing Australia soon.
