Past Student Samantha Prime triumphs again

Celebrations all around as our Samantha Prime is awarded, not one but two Sporting Blue Awards. At the Victorian School Sports Awards 2013 in the Members Dining Room at the MCG Samantha was presented with awards for Cross Country and Athletics. In 2013, Samantha had a state ranking of 1st in 1500m, 3000m and a national ranking of 2 in 3000m. She was undefeated in track and field in 2013 over 800m, 1500m and 3000m, setting a state record in 3000m. She represented Australia in the IAAF World Junior Cross Country Championships in Poland in 2013. In the 6km race, Samantha battled snow and ice to finish a creditable 37th against the best in the world in a time of 20 minutes 18 seconds. She is currently ranked 3rd in Australia in 3000m and 4000m. Samantha also completed her Year 12 studies in 2013 here at Berwick College and is now studying at Geelong. Congratulations to an outstanding young athlete and a delightful young lady.
