Student Success

Congratulations to Year 12 student, Jake Hynes, who has had a tremendous start to 2016 and his triathlon endeavours. Jake only began training for triathlons two years ago and has since experienced a very rapid rise, being named one of the top athletes in Australia.

Earlier in the year, Jake competed in his first major individual triathlon event, the Mooloolaba Tri. Jake came first in his race against a highly competitive field. Recently, Jake was selected in the Queensland Triathlon team to compete at the National Triathlon titles in Hervey Bay. Jake competed in the open age group and finished a staggering 8th in the country. Jake also finished 3rd in the relay event. Due to his unprecedented success, Jake has been invited to compete with the Australian junior team at the Triathlon Championships in Mexico later in the year! Well done, Jake and all the best for the next stage of competition.
