MSA Students fire at the Athletics Nationals

A number of MSA past and present athletics squad members will be representing Australia after outstanding performances at the recent Australian Athletics Championships

Current students Aliyah Canepa (hammer throw) and Angus Wood (triple jump) have been selected to represent Australia at the Oceania Championships in June, alongside past students Catherine Mendes (triple jump), Jamieson Battistella (high Jump and heptathlon) and Celeste Mucci (100m hurdles and heptathlon)

Celeste Mucci will have further Australian Representative duties after being selected for the Australian relay team to compete at the World Relay Championships in Japan, and later this year at the World University Games in Italy. Celeste is also only the fourth ever Australian heptathlete to be invited to compete at the prestigious World Combined Event Challenge in Gotzis Austria next month.

Celeste had an amazing win in the national 100m hurdle final where she beat Australia’s two commonwealth games hurdlers and set the 8th fastest Australian time in history for the 100m hurdles 

Have a look at her race.
