Nicholas P (5H) participated in the School Sport Australia Primary School Track and Field 2022 national championships held at Brisbane's Queensland Sports and Athletic Centre (QSAC) 17 – 21 November 2022.
Nicholas was thrilled to be at his first national school championships and recorded PB’s in the 11-year’s 100m (13.63s) and 200m (27.98s) heats finishing 5th in both. He also ran in the medley relay where the ACT finished 4th and participated in various track and field ‘fun relay’ events for the ACT on the Monday. Nicholas has said attendance at the championships was a big step-up in competition level and he is undoubtedly better for the experience.
