FIRST PLACE: Our $130 prize money winner is Liliana, who is 11 years old and loves to run. Her father Andrew entered her into the competition. He said, ‘From the grassroots of Ipswich Little Athletics, Liliana has excelled on the track and has achieved great success making the Queensland state team for athletics. This year she will compete at a national level at Sydney Olympic Park in the 800m and 1500m.’ Well done Liliana and we look forward to seeing you excel and make headlines as you progress with your chosen sport. When told of her win, Lilian’s father Andrew said the money would come in handy as she would be competing in the nationals in Sydney soon. “She needs new shoes but I am not sure what we’ll use the money for just yet,” Andrew said. “I know it will be on something she needs for the Sydney nationals.”
SECOND PLACE: Our $50 prize money winner is Abel Hollands who is seven and does Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Asylum MMA Ipswich. He writes, ‘I love Jiu Jitsu because it makes me feel strong and I like winning gold medals at competitions and my friends at my class my coach Jackson’.
THIRD PLACE: Our $30 money winner is Sidney Anderson, who is 10 years old and lives in Ipswich. He writes, ‘I chose hockey as it’s fun to play and games were local, plus I didn’t know if I was good at anything else. I love running the whole field with the ball and scoring a goal. It’s fun when you are playing together as a team. I play other sports now but hockey is my favourite’.
While Lakyn didn’t win a prize, we love that he raced at the Queensland Titles this year. Lakyn is also ranked second in Queensland boys under eight. He trains at the Ipswich and West Moreton BMX Club. He started riding when he was two and his whole family enjoys the sport.
Judy Bean helped Christopher enter the sporting superstars competition. He writes, ‘Hi, I’m Christopher and I play soccer for Rosewood Crusaders. I have been playing for five years now. I enjoy playing soccer as it’s fun and I’ve made lots of friends. Also it helps me with my adhd. I feel more accepted due to my disability (speech)’. We loved your entry Christopher, you’ve won a $50 Judge’s Choice Award.
