Congratulations Jarian
Jarian H, of Year 10, is a humble young lady who is making a mark on the world stage. Since starting weightlifting in 2015, she has been breaking Australian U15 Weightlifting records. Jarian is presently holding the record for both Snatch and Clean and Jerk.
Jarian’s talent and dedication has been rewarded in her selection in the Australian Weightlifting Youth team. She competed in the Pacific Mini Games in Vanuatu late last year and the Oceania Championships in New Caledonia last week. Jarian was the only NSW female competitor who qualified to represent Australia in the Youth Team.
With great excitement on 29 June, students gathered in common areas during lunch time to watch Jarian lift. Her peers remained in absolute silence as Jarian stepped up to the bar and when her lift was successful, it was met with a colossal roar. With so much pride, cheers and tears, staff and students rode the waves of emotions.
Jarian successfully lifted 61Kg in the Snatch and 84Kg in the Clean and Jerk. The overall total positioned her in second place in the F69 category.
THAT MEANS SHE WAS AWARDED THE SILVER MEDAL!
What an amazing accomplishment Jarian! Congratulations!
