Sunshine Coast Grammar School is proud to announce that five student-athletes and one teacher have been selected to represent Australia at the 2025 World Triathlon Championships in Wollongong from 15 – 19 October.

Jude has continued to build his triathlon momentum, earning Queensland selection after standout performances at the State Championships and will be representing Australia in the Age Group Sprint Distance Team.
At just 16, Addison is one of the youngest athletes on the start list and will be representing the Australian Junior Team. Addison has already claimed three consecutive national titles as well as second place at the European Triathlon Junior Cup in Holten and fifth in the U23 Oceania Sprint Championships.
Will has earned his spot on the Age Group Sprint Distance Team alongside Jude and has secured impressive results, including second place at the 2024 Queensland All Schools’ Triathlon.

Maureen Cummings, a long-serving PE teacher at Sunshine Coast Grammar and coach with the Sunshine Coast Triathlon Academy, has also been given the honour of the Australian Age Group Triathlon Team Flag Bearer at the Parade of Nations on 15 October. Ms Cummings is also lining up for her tenth Australian Age Group Team, and carrying the flag is a recognition of her commitment to the sport and a celebration of her passion for the sport.
The selection of these athletes is a testament to their years of dedication and commitment to their training, and we are proud to support their sporting aspirations.
Best of luck to all athletes!
