Tui Edwards brings fantastic news ...
Well guys I have had fantastic news back from our club president Eddie Fabian last night of some great performances at the :
88th Australian Athletics Championships - Perth - **Commonwealth Selection Trials**
The 3 athletes attending from Thompson Estate Athletics:
Yarnell Fisher Open 200m
Tristra Moxham AWD (Athletes' with Disability) T20 400m & Long Jump
Rachael Dodds AWD (Athletes' with Disability) T35 100m & 200m
Of the results that came back, Yarnell was the youngest athlete in the Open (17yrs) 200m so his performances in stepping up into men's divisions will most certainly gain him ranking in Australia as he progresses to Men's Division, Tristra Moxham recorded personal best performances for her events and classification and Rachael Dodds brought home the gold and new world record for her classification as an AWD athlete for 200m AWD T35.
What an awesome effort Guys!
It is very difficult for the average person to understand the conversion of effort put forth by these athletes to compete at this level, it certainly is not easy and alot of hard work is sacrificed by all parties to help these kids reach their dreams, keep up up the hard work and I am sure we will continue to see great things from all TEES athletes and hopefully some Olympic places attained in the future.
Keep up the great effort everyone, the performances can't happen without unification of parents,athletes,coaches and members all working together to help the athletes in this club reach their goals and dreams.
