Good luck to our four Pymble teams competing in the NSW Schools Teams Challenge at Sydney Olympic Park on Wednesday 18 October. Pymble athletes will be competing in junior, intermediate and senior age groups. This will be the last schools’ events for our 2023 captains, Gabriella Taylor (Year 12), Rhedyn Wong (Year 12) and Abigail Ballhausen (Year 12), who will be leading way in our senior team. Pymble has a long history in this great team event.  Students who qualify for National Schools Teams Challenge will be heading to Perth to compete in December.

Congratulations to Grace Townsend (Year 10), Sarah Baker (Year 11), Tessa Newitt (Year 10) and Sophia Slater (Year 10) who competed at the Sydney Olympic Park Athletics Centre on Saturday 14 October. This Saturday 21 October, the Treloar Shield takes place at The Crest, Bankstown. All athletes are encouraged to please register at www.nswathletics.org.au to compete in this event.

We have had a great start to Term 4 training across all areas. We encourage students who would like to try high jump to come to training on Thursday afternoons on Kelso Field from 3.30pm.
