Australian Athletics Championships

The Australian Athletics Championships were held in Adelaide last week and we had two SJC representatives make the journey to South Australia to compete in their selected sport.

Bailey Wilson
Bailey Wilson, Year 12, competed in the Under 20s in the 5000m last Thursday in Adelaide at the Australian Athletics Championships. The event was broadcast live on 7+ and watched by many excited family and friends in Geelong.

Bailey finished just outside his personal best, coming 21st running 15minutes 40seconds. It was wonderful for Bailey to achieve his season goal of qualifying, making it to the start line of the Nationals and to compete against the best in the country. Sharing the warm up track alongside some of Australia's Olympic stars was a source of great satisfaction and pride.

Noah Burns
Noah jumped a personal best of 4.60 in Pole Vaulting, landing himself a bronze.


We hope the positive championship experience will continue to motivate Bailey and Noah moving forward and everyone at St Joseph’s College are incredibly proud of them both.
