The countdown to igsa cross country is on and there was much excitement on Monday 6 May with the announcement of the team. Pymble has always been strong in cross country so it’s a significant achievement for our Pymble athletes to be selected. It’s guaranteed to be a great day at Frensham with tough competition across every age. All students should be proud of themselves for their commitment and consistency training. The improvements seen in a number of athletes is something they should all be proud of.

Following a very successful National Championships, the Australian team has been announced. It gives me great pleasure to share the news that two Pymble students have been selected for their Australian team debut. Congratulations to Sarah Baker (Year 12) who will represent the u18 team in the 800m and 1500m, and Sybella Warton (Year 11), who is set to compete in the open para 100m and 200m events.

In addition, a special shout out to Sam Dale, one of our dedicated sports coordinators, for securing a place in the long jump. We will also cheer on our Pymble alumni, Mackenzie Little as she takes on the javelin and Kailyn Joseph as she takes on the Para Long jump. It’s a proud moment for our team and Pymble community.
