Brodie Makes Baseball History in the USA! ⚾
During the recent school holidays, Brodie had the incredible privilege of representing Australia as part of the Down Under Travellers baseball team at the prestigious Ballparks of America in Branson, Missouri.
The tournament brought together talented teams from across the United States, giving the Australian players the opportunity to compete at a very high level, make lifelong friendships, and experience America's passion for baseball.
The team achieved something truly special, making history as the first Australian travel team to win games at the Ballparks of America. They did not stop there. They went all the way to the Grand Final, an amazing achievement that the players, coaches and families will never forget.
For Brodie, the trip was about so much more than baseball. It was a chance to challenge himself, learn from talented players, build friendships across Australia and the USA, and return home inspired to keep working hard and chasing his dreams.
🚴♂️ From Byford to the World Stage!
A huge congratulations to Joe Kieswetter from Year 5 who proudly represented Australia at the UCI BMX World Championships in Brisbane recently on 22nd & 23rd July!
Competing against the world's best riders from countries including the USA, Colombia, Great Britain, France, New Zealand, Japan, Norway, China, Canada, Aruba, Thailand, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Switzerland and many more, Joe showed outstanding determination and sportsmanship on the international stage.
Joe’s BMX journey began in 2022, and through years of hard work and dedication competing in State & National Level Championship events, he earned his place on the Australian team.
Joe finished a proud 34th out of a field of 89 riders and the first thing he said to his dad when the day finished ‘I want to train harder this year so we can go to France 🇫🇷 next year’.
Follow your dreams Joe! The world is waiting for you.
