Our APS Backup Round was played in Week 5, 28 February. See results under Resources on this page. Read on to see some of the achievements our students have had in the past few weeks.
Sophie Krueger was in an IQ Show jumping competition on the weekend hosted by Stuartholme.
She placed fourth and fifth in her 1m classes.
Congratulations to Sophie
Michael Dobroskok is aiming for Level 9 Under 15 (Junior International) which will be challenging in the lead up to the international stream from national open levels.
Michael will compete at Regionals in a few weeks and then state competition.
Gold Coast Gymnastics recently hosted the Netherlands national team for training at their Coomera venue. Michael and his team had the opportunity to train beside them and also had a question/answer session and meet and greet. Epke Zonderland (pictured with Michael) is an Olympic champion on High Bar and has just won gold at the World Cup in Melbourne. While they didn't make Tokyo Olympics as a team, Epke is hoping to qualify individually as a high bar specialist. It was such an amazing opportunity for the boys.
Martin Ding competed on the Sunshine Coast in open Taekwondo. He earned a silver medal and is working towards another three open competitions in March, May and June.
During the first round of Basketball Club games for Somerset Spartans, Oscar Riddle (pictured looking at Coach Peter) had his first game for club with his team. Following an incredible one point victory for the U11 Boys team, he said to Coach Peter Correa, "That was the most fun I have ever had in my life!"
Oscar didn't score, but being part of a team and contributing by defending, passing, and playing a big role to secure the win was more than enough for him. He was overwhelmed with emotion after experiencing such a great win with his new teammates.
Moments like this remind us how powerful working as a team can be. Feeling a sense of belonging and working hard to make a positive impact on others is the best feeling there is!
