Outstanding performances have been turned in by three Sacred Heart College, Kyneton, students at the recent Victorian All-Schools State Track and Field Championships.
Against really tough opposition, steeplechaser Sarah Fitzpatrick, distance runner Tyler Fynch and hammer thrower Hayley Stubbs represented SHC and themselves with distinction.
Competition at Lakeside Stadium in Albert Park extended over four days, across two weekends.
To win a place in the Australian All-Schools Nationals in Brisbane next month was the aim, and the dedicated and talented SHC trio achieved this. Only first and second place getters go to Brisbane.
All at SHC congratulate them, and hope their strong achievements can continue at the next level.
Competing in the female Under 17 steeplechase over 2000m, year 10’s Sarah Fitzpatrick was delighted to finish in second place in a time of 17:35.93.
Hayley Stubbs, also year 10, showed she has mastered the hammer throw technique in earning a gold medal with a distance of 42.75 metres.
Tyler Fynch, from year 8, was extremely busy, securing two silver medals, both in personal best times.
He finished in second place in the Under 15 3000 metres in 9 minutes 3 seconds, and ran the 1500m in 4:14.53.
As well as heading for Brisbane, Fynch also qualified for Athletic Australia’s upcoming 3000m nationals at Lakeside, running on the premier surface in Australia.
