On Thursday, 9 August the Emerald Secondary College sport aerobics squad flew to Queensland to compete in the National Championships.
The Federation of International Sports Aerobics and fitness competition attracts athletes from all over the country and despite a tough year, the Emerald Secondary solo team placed eight in their division and won the National School Spirit Title.
The school’s solo athlete also competed against a number of state champions to become the 2018 national Solo champion.
Coach and principal of Emerald Secondary, Jodie Doble said she was extremely proud of the girls and explained the hard work the team had put in, in the lead-up to the event.
“Sports aerobics involves competitors performing continuous, complex and high intensity movement patterns to music,” she said.
“There’s high level competitive skills involved … they have to do straddle jumps, angel jumps, tuck jumps, wolf jumps.”
“I’m so proud of then.”
