Our elite athlete, Georgia Hulls (year 12) has triumphed once again. This time at the Australian Junior National Championships in Perth.
With winds swirling about and the temperature 37 degrees, Georgia won the U18 women's 200m for the third year, setting a new meet record in the process. This is the second time she has met the qualifying standard at this distance, making her eligible for selection for the World Junior Championships in Poland in July this year.
Georgia also won the U18 100m race for the second year. She has already qualified for selection for Poland in Hastings in January 2016.

Finally, Georgia ran the fourth leg in the NZ U20 4X100 relay team, which won the event, meeting the qualifying time for Poland for the third time.
Georgia was invited to run in the open women's 100m race in the Perth Track Classic, an invitation-only event, where she placed fourth.
Selections for the NZ team to compete in Poland will be announced on 16 April. Congratulations and best wishes Georgia. Havelock North High School is very proud of you.
