On Thursday, February 27, two talented teams proudly represented Magdalene at the NSWCCC Triathlon, held at Sydney International Regatta Centre in Penrith. Competing against more than 150 teams, our Year 9 and Year 12 students rose to the challenge in the Intermediate Boys and Senior Girls divisions.

In the Intermediate Boys event, Oliver Moore set a strong pace in the opening 400-meter swim before handing over to cyclist Maddox Mascari, who maintained the team’s competitive position in the 15-kilometer cycle. Harry Kirkman capped off the race with a determined 3-kilometer run, securing an impressive 12th place overall in the state and 4th among Combined Catholic Colleges—just 10 seconds shy of a podium finish. Oliver, Maddox and Harry were ranked 2nd, 1st and 4th in the state amongst the Combined Catholic Colleges in their respective races. 

In the Senior Girls division, Isabella Brookes led the charge with a solid 400-meter swim, followed by Mia Dixon, who powered through the 15-kilometer cycle. Zoe Kourembes finished strong with a determined 3-kilometer run, helping the team claim 44th place out of 53 teams—a fantastic achievement, especially in the challenging heat.

Congratulations to our athletes for their outstanding effort, teamwork, and sportsmanship!
