Year 7 – 12 Sport

Student Achievement

We are excited to celebrate Jared Moss, a Year 12 student, on his incredible achievement of being selected by the Brisbane Lions Academy to represent them in the Marsh 2024 AFL National Championship, which is currently being held.

Jared was initially selected last December following an outstanding club season with the Kawana Eagles, where he was awarded Best and Fairest for his team and Best on Ground in the grand final.

In February, he began training with Sunshine Coast and Wide Bay teams. 120 players from Sunshine Coast, North and South Brisbane were cut to 40. Jared successfully made it through this selection process, and further training commenced over Easter. Amongst his peers, Jared set the record for the 20m sprint (2.807 seconds), placed 2nd in agility, and 5th in the 2km time trial. His tracker data showed he covered more kilometers than anyone else on the field and had the highest mass velocity.

Jared recently had the opportunity to fly to Sydney to compete against the Sydney Swans Academy and played two trial matches against the Gold Coast Suns. After these trials, the final team was announced, and Jared was excited to make the final cut. We wish Jared all the best competing in the Marsh 2024 AFL National Championship.
