Grade 5 athletes Alexis W and Thea H have showcased outstanding performances in athletics competitions across Regional Victoria. In a recent competition in Shepparton, Alexis secured 2nd place in the 100m, 200m, and hurdle events, while also clinching 1st place in the high jump and long jump. Meanwhile, Thea achieved 3rd place in the hurdles, 2nd in the triple jump, and triumphed in her favored event, the 1.1km walk. Thea's excellence persisted in Maryborough over the weekend, as she not only claimed victory in the 1.1km walk but also shattered the previous record with a time of 6.36 minutes. Keep up the great work girls!

We have all-girl teams at all age levels and around half of our juniors are female. We are looking for any junior players who would like to experience the World Game.
