By Vashti Williams

On Wednesday the 11 September, I competed in the NSWCHS State Athletics championships at Sydney Olympic Park.
I competed in the 13 years girls javelin. I threw a personal best, with a throw of 32.81m which placed me third out of twenty one girls. I have been lucky enough to have Mr Ian Leonard who has coached since I was 5 years old, alongside my older siblings. Mr Leonard is the reason I have achieved so well at all competitions.
I have made it to state for the past 3 years and Mr Leonard has made that happen. Every day, I meet Mr Leonard at the oval with other kids to train for an hour. I do this every weekday. I am so lucky Mr Leonard gives his free time and effort to help me and many others to reach our full potential.
Thank you, Mr Leonard!
