SUCCESS STORIES

ALL-SCHOOLS ATHLETICS

Over the weekends of 28 - 29 October and 4- 5 November Allegra Orso 10L competed at the All-Schools Athletics Championships at Lakeside Athletics Stadium. This competition saw the best of all Public, Private and Catholic Schools compete to be the best athletes in the State.

Allegra had an amazing meet jumping 5.32m in Long Jump securing her 4th place, then jumping 11.83m in Triple Jump resulting in her being 2nd in the State. 

These are amazing results following her success in the Schools Sports Victoria Championships earlier in the term. Along with this success Allegra has qualified to compete at the Australian All Schools Track and Field Championships in Perth in December, where she will represent McKinnon and Victoria in Triple Jump. 

We wish Allegra all the best for the upcoming championships and can’t wait to share her success later this year.
