Matthew Takes Gold at World Championships
A huge congratulations to Matthew Williams (Year 8) who travelled to New Zealand during the mid-year holidays to represent Australia in artistic roller skating. He competed for Australia in the World Skate Oceania Championships against teams from New Zealand, Japan, Chinese Taipei and India.
Matthew competed in the Cadet grade with two routines: one style dance (Rhumba/Latin Medley) and one free dance featuring orchestral music from The Legend of Zelda.
His performance earned Matthew a personal best for the year, taking out the gold medal for the Men’s Cadet event and contributing to the Australian team winning the Cadet category overall.
Congratulations on a huge achievement, Matthew, and all the best for your next event!
