Congratulations
The College wishes to acknowledge the recent achievements of Old Boy Alexander del Popolo (’21) for representing Australia in Javelin at the Pacific Mini Games.
The Pacific Mini Games is a multi-sport event contested by countries and territories located across the Oceania region and is a scaled-down version of the Pacific Games, which takes place every four years. This year’s games were held in Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands at the end of June.
Well done to Alex who threw a two-metre personal best at the games with a distance of 59.53 metres. Proud of his efforts, Alex placed 5th overall in the Men’s 800g Javelin event.
We congratulate Alex and wish him all the best for his future endeavours in Track and Field.
