2024 Intermediate Schools Championships – Melbourne

Well done to sisters, Alexandra Hargraves (Year 9) and Penelope Hargraves (Year 7) who travelled to Melbourne on Saturday 15 June to compete at the 2024 Intermediate Schools Championships in Melbourne. Alexandra and Penelope represented Pymble in exemplary fashion

Both students competed brilliantly to tie for Bronze, congratulations! In addition, Penelope was one of the youngest fencers at the competition. In her semi-final, Penelope was not distracted in the Semi-final by her opponent who argued with the referee on every point – a great lesson in sportsmanship. Competing Interstate is challenging and Alexandra and Penelope did well to coach each other on tactics between bouts.

Alexandra was also awarded by NSW Fencing recently for her exemplary sportsmanship.

Well done to Alex and Penelope for representing Pymble in exemplary fashion and for your achievements! They will now return to training to get ready for more upcoming competitions.

Well done!
