State success for Tablelands girls
TWO young girls from the Tablelands area recently found great success at the Queensland Representative School Sport State Championships, both bringing home a medal each.
Paige Grose of Malanda State High School and Gabrielle Rohde of Atherton Primary School both medaled at the State Championships, qualifying them to represent Queensland in the National Championships.
Paige is a Year 12 student from Malanda and placed second in the 800m with a season personal best, she also competed in the 1500m race and placed fourth.
However, Paige has elected to not compete at Nationals as she wishes to finish her senior year focusing on her studies.
Gabrielle is a 10-year-old Atherton local and picked up a bronze medal in the high jump, jumping 1m 39cm.
The top three for this event jumped higher than the winner for the same age group last year.
Gabrielle will be heading to the Sydney Olympic Park Athletic Centre to compete in Nationals from 28 November to 2 December.
