Congratulations Alanna

On Wednesday 27th April, School Sport Victoria held its annual Sporting Blue Award ceremony at The Glasshouse, Olympic Park, Melbourne. After 3 consecutive years of nominations, Alanna Peart was successful and awarded the Sporting Blue Award for Athletics (number 1 female in athletics at a government school). Not only did she win this award, she was awarded the most outstanding of all nominations received across all sports! This is only the 2nd time in history that a Ballarat High School student has been given this honour, the first being Peter O’Neill for water skiing in 1999.

Alanna has also joined a select few who have won Sporting Blue Awards in both Primary and Secondary Schools and joins 18 BHS alumni who have been awarded a Sporting Blue in recognition of their outstanding achievements.

Alanna had yet another great year in 2021. She was ranked number 1 in Australia for the Under 20 Roadwalking and number 2 in the Under 20 Track Racewalking. She obtained 3 Under 20 10km Roadwalking Team qualifying times enabling her to compete at the World Under 20 Racewalking Championships in Oman where she won the silver medal. In July she is competing in Columbia representing Australia.

Our congratulations on her outstanding achievements and wish her all the best for her upcoming competition.
