Sports Report: 25 May 2022

Outstanding Australian-level sport achievements

Congratulations to Will Gregory (Year 12), Alex Gordon (Year 12), Owen Toyne (Year 9) and Ashley Fernandez (2020 graduate) for achieving some outstanding accomplishments in their chosen sports.

Will was invited to attend the 2022 Australian Rowing Junior National Team selection trials. A tough and gruelling week of time trials and racing, Will finished ranked as Australia’s 4th best U19 Men's Single Scull rower. Even though he missed National selection, Radford is extremely proud of this achievement.

Ashley, a current member of the ACT Women’s Brumbies Rugby Team, was selected in the Australian Barbarians Team that played against Japan on Friday 6 May in Brisbane. Japan survived a spirited effort from the Australian Barbarians to secure a 24–10 victory. Congratulations, Ash, on your Australian representative honours.

Alex and Owen competed in the 2022 Australian Junior Track and Field Championships. The outstanding performances of both student-athletes have earned them a representative honour with the Australian Junior Track and Field team to compete at the Oceania Athletics Championships in June. Team Australia will have 335 athletes, with 25 Olympians and 16 Paralympians, who will be using the meet for their preparations for the Oregon 2022 World Athletics Championships and Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. Almost 200 juniors will join Australia’s elite at the Oceanias as they build towards the World U20 Championships, including Owen who will be competing in the U18 5000m Walk, and Alex who will compete in the U20 400m Hurdles.

Congratulations Alex and Owen – the many hours of training and competing is paying off.

Basketball
The Radford U12 Eagles had an amazing game on the weekend.

At half-time, the Eagles were down 8–16, but the coach knew the girls could do it and encouraged them not to give up.

The Eagles came back soaring. Working together as a team, the Eagles took control. Tight defence forced turnovers that the Eagles capitalised on, and at the end of the third quarter the Eagles had scored 10 to the Ramblers' 2.

It was a strong contest in the final quarter, with the Eagles holding on to the lead and the well-deserved win. Congratulations Eagles!
