The All Schools State Championship took place under the hot and windy conditions of Hervey Bay on February 9, 2024.
Out of the 16 Somerset students and/or Somerset Triathlon Club representatives who qualified in the Kawana Regionals in late October, 15 athletes participated in the race. Our Spartans showcased outstanding performances. Five of our athletes have been invited to represent Queensland at the All Schools Nationals in Western Australia in March. A few other participants came very close, only seconds away from qualification.
Somerset College has a young, vibrant, and highly successful Triathlon programme that has grown from its implementation in 2019. We are 2020 and 2024 Regional All Schools Champion school, and 2023 Queensland Club Vice-champions. Members add to more than 40 athletes between students, staff, and parents divided into Development and Performance groups.
The Development group includes athletes with a recreational interest in triathlon and the Performance group aims for State and National standard competitions. Head Coach Glauber Scattolini Correa sees great reward in the diverse athlete group delivering such amazing results.
“Today, 75% of our performance-focused group has reached State standard and 40% National standard results. The programme’s efficiency has not put aside the family-oriented environment we cultivate in training and local races,” our Head Coach explains when inviting any Somerset student Years 3 to 12 to join the Triathlon co-curricular programme and proudly represent the College.
