Walsgott to represent state

Horsham College Year 10 student Ella Walsgott will travel to the Sunshine Coast in May to compete at the School Sport Australia Championship.

Walsgott has been picked for the School Sport Victoria state team in the 13 to 19-year-old triathlon.

Walsgott has enjoyed outstanding success as a triathlete in the past 12 months, competing at several events including the Australian Junior Triathlon Series in December.

She was a nominee for Wimmera Regional Sports Assembly’s Sports Star of the Year award.

In a statement, School Sport Victoria said Walsgott’s selection was worthy of celebration, noting past School Sport Victoria team members had gone on to compete at national and international level, including Olympic Games, world championships and Commonwealth Games.
