Medals for Matilda

Congratulations to our lightning-quick Class 5 student Matilda Vial who won gold and silver at the Queensland State athletics championships recently.

With a silver medal for the long jump under her belt, for a distance of 4.24 metres, Matilda then went on to win gold in the U/11 100 metres and 200m sprints, clocking personal best times in both events - 13.61 for the 100m and 28.01 for the 200m.

Matilda also qualified third fastest for the 60m hurdles, finishing fifth in the final.

The athletes arriving in Queensland for the Commonwealth Games this week had better hold onto their hats!
