Triathlon
On Wednesday 28 February and Thursday 29 February, our Pymble triathletes competed in the NSW All Schools Triathlon Championships at Sydney International Regatta Centre. Due to the poor water quality this year, triathlon was held as a duathlon. Our Pymble triathletes took part in two run legs and unfortunately did not swim on either of the days. On Wednesday, four of our individual athletes competed in some very competitive races. All four triathletes gave their absolute all and we were pleased to see some fantastic results on the day:
Individual Event Placings
| Athlete | Division | Placing |
| Lana Pike (Year 11) | Senior | 16th |
| Tully Black (Year 11) | Senior | 19th |
| Lily Jones (Year 11) | Senior | 24th |
| Grace Beck (Year 10) | Intermediate | 16th |
On Thursday, Pymble triathlon teams competed, including some of our individual triathletes backing up to compete over both days. Pymble entered a total of ten teams and their efforts were phenomenal.
