NSW All Schools Triathlon

On Wednesday 26 and Thursday 27 February, our triathletes were out at the Sydney International Regatta Centre competing in the NSW All Schools Triathlon Championships. The first day we saw nine of our individual athletes compete in some very competitive races (Evie Leahy (Year 12), Grace Beck (Year 11), Tully Black (Year 12), Aniela Knight (Year 10), Phoebe Pockley (Year 10), Anna Smart (Year 7), Georgina Lewis (Year 8), Lily Dao (Year 8), Ruby Azar (Year 8)). All triathletes gave their absolute all and we were pleased to see some fantastic results on the day. A special shout out to Georgina Lewis (Year 8) who has been named a reserve for the School Sport Australia Triathlon Championships.

The next day we had our Triathlon teams compete with some of our individual triathletes backing up and competing over both days. We had a total of 11 teams entered on Thursday and their efforts were phenomenal. Another shout out goes to our two intermediate teams (Indianna Vale (Year 10), Phoebe Pockley (Year 10), Layla Abdel-Megeed (Year 10), Riley Atkinson (Year 10), Amelia Nicolaou (Year 9) and Poppy Barwick (Year 10)), and one of our junior teams (Sissi Ko (Year 7), Lily Dao (Year 8), and Charlie Slater (Year 8)) who finished top 10 overall on the day. A special mention goes to our senior team (Lily Barlow (Year 12), Tully Black (Year 12), and Mia Croker (Year 12)) who podiumed on the day coming second overall. Such a fantastic achievement for this team to finish their last ever Triathlon representing Pymble whilst receiving a silver medal.
