So incredibly proud of our Year 7 VUSC Student, Ella Harris.
Ella competed at the Athletics Victoria State Junior Track & Field Championships in the U14 Women’s 3000m Race Walk and came away with a State Silver Medal in a time of 16:41.87 — smashing her previous PB by 24 seconds!
This was only her second time racing the 3000m distance, as she usually competes in shorter events for Little Athletics. To achieve a podium finish at State level in just her second attempt is an amazing effort.
The weekend before, she also claimed in the U13 Girls 1500m Race Walk at the Little Athletics Western Metro Region Championships, clocking 8:06.03.
We’re so excited that Ella will now represent Victoria at the Australian Athletics Junior National Championships in Brisbane this April — her very first National Championships and her first time wearing the Victorian Team uniform
Ella also competes in Triathlon and Swimming, and we can’t wait to see what’s next for her.
Hard work, dedication and determination paying off — we are beyond proud!
