Year 13 Students Kelly Hoyt and Joelle Gatenby competed in the South Island Weightlifting competition held in Nelson recently with some very pleasing results.

Joelle claimed 2nd place in her weight class and won 1st place in the Youth and Junior categories.

Kelly gained 4th in her weight class and 2nd in the Junior category.

Well done girls, keep an eye out for more weightlifting opportunities to come here at Columba College.
