Boxer selected for Aussie team

LOCAL boxer Paige Robinson has been selected for the Australian Youth boxing team.

The 17-year-old Impact Boxing and Fitness Centre boxer is the only female boxer to be selected for the team after being awarded best youth female boxer at the recent National titles where Paige secured a gold medal.

Coach Mark Evans said Paige will now travel to Alicante, Spain where she will represent Australia at the World Youth Boxing Championships from 13 to 27 November.

“Congratulations Paige – we are all very proud of you,” Mark said.

Dolphins make a big splash

COOROY Dolphins have had major success at the recent Wide Bay Short Course Championships held at St Andrews Aquatic Centre.

All swimmers posted personal best times and brought home an array of medals. However, a special mention has to go to swimmer Hamish Price.

Hamish not only came away with the race win in the 50 m Fly, he also broke the Wide Bay Championships record.

Cooroy Dolphins Coach Andrew Cowan said, “I am so excited for Hamish. He has committed to training and these are the results that follow. Butterfly is hard and Hamish made it look so easy. I am looking forward to watching him break more records in the future. You never know – maybe a world record one day.”

Cooroy Dolphins are gearing up for another fantastic season of swimming. Club nights kick off in Term 4.
