Jayvier Yang in Year 8 also competed for Victoria in the 15 and under section. He was cheered on by Sam and Will Kay, McKinnon alumni who trained Jayvier a few years back. Sam and Will now reside in the ACT training for the National Volleyball Team and turned up just to support Jayvier.

The U15 boys also played well and were placed 5th in their event.
Jayvier had an amazing time in Canberra. He is enjoying his sport and making many new friends through competitions like this.
Well done Jayvier, we look forward to hearing about future events.
