Water Polo
During the first weekend of February the ACT Water Polo Club Championships were held at the Oasis Regional Aquatic Centre in Wagga Wagga. The combined team of Radford College and the Nordek Water Polo Club, travelled to Wagga Wagga to compete for the Girls U16 Division.
The girls were victorious and won the U16 Girls Club Championship. Well done!
The team included the following Radford College students: Molly Jones (Banksia, Year 9), Stella Layton (Jarrah, Year 9), Carys Hodgkinson (Acacia, Year 9), Kate Kristiansen (Huon, Year 9), Svara Kelkar (Houn, Year 9) and Emma Henry (Karri, Year 10). The team is coached by a Radford Collegian, Kate Daly (class of 2021).
Radford Rowers Shine at NSW Rowing Championships
Over the past weekend, our Radford rowing program showcased its talent and dedication at the highly anticipated NSW Rowing Championships. The event was held at the Sydney International Regatta Centre (SIRC) in Penrith. This prestigious event is renowned for its competitiveness and draws participants from schools, clubs, and sports institutes nationwide.
Representing Radford with pride, over 40 rowers and coxes from our Year 8-12 squads took to the water, delivering superb performances throughout the championships.
We are thrilled to announce that our efforts resulted in a remarkable medal haul for Radford College. Our achievements include a bronze medal in the U16 Boys Single Scull (Charlie Knight, Banksia Year 10) and another Bronze in the Senior School Boys Coxed Quad (Hamish Gaden, Karri, Hamish McKee, Jarrah, Angus Scott, Acacia, Rohan White, Kurrajong and Izzy Faris, Karri.) All team members are Year 12.
The Radford rowers won a silver medal in the U16 Boys Double (Charlie Knight, Banksia Year 10 and Hugo Ryan, Huon Year 10), and an outstanding Gold in the U19 Boys Double (Connor Malouf, Houn Year 12 and Angus Scott, Acacia Year 12).
Notably, Radford emerged as the top-ranked ACT school at the regatta, placing an impressive 7th overall among all competing schools and securing the 24th position out of 70 clubs/schools on the overall medal tally.
As we celebrate these achievements, we eagerly look forward to the upcoming weekend, where almost the entire rowing program will be competing in the Rowing ACT Age Championships and ACT Head of the Lake on Lake Burley Griffin.
