Radford College is delighted to celebrate the achievements of several students who recently represented Radford and School Sport ACT (SSACT) at national events, delivering remarkable performances and showcasing their talent, determination, and sporting ethics.

Track and field success at Sydney Olympic Park

Emerson Ryan (Year 6, Boronia) and Griff Steven (Year 5, Boronia) proudly competed at the School Sport Australia Track and Field Championships at Sydney Olympic Park, where they represented the ACT with distinction.

Emerson Ryan delivered outstanding performances, achieving personal bests in all his events. His incredible efforts saw him place 6th in the 100m, 5th in the 200m, and an impressive 4th in the 800m, narrowly missing out on a medal.

Griff Stevens is the new SSA record holder and Australian champion in the U11 multiclass 100m. His dedication and determination to excel have been inspiring to all in the Radford community.

Both Emerson and Griff also competed as part of the ACT 4x100m relay team.

Cricketers shine in Adelaide

Our cricketers have also taken centre stage this week at the School Sport Australia National Cricket Championships in Adelaide.

Zoe O'Rourke (Year 7, Huon), Annabelle Farr (Year 7, Acacia), Tahlia Smith (Year 5, Karri), Sophia Strachan (Year 6, Jarrah), Gus Bennett (Year 7, Wandoo) and Pratham Dakwala (Year 7, Banksia) are proudly representing SSACT, competing against the nation’s best young talent. Their selection is a testament to their hard work, skill, and passion for the game.

These achievements highlight the strength of Radford’s sports programs and the unwavering support of our coaches, families, and broader community. We are immensely proud of all our students.
