When it all started
May 2009. Unknowingly back then, this was the time my high jumping career was about to begin. I attended high school at The Hills Sports High School in Seven Hills and at the time I did not have a coach nor was I too serious about high jump. 3 years into my high schooling life that slowly changed and through the Athletics Coordinator Nicole Watson and her suggestion, I started training with Alex Stewart. I for one had no idea that this would be the start of something great.
May 2009 personal best: 1.88m.
15 months later I was standing on the dais in Singapore at the first ever Youth Olympic Games receiving a Silver medal.
August 2010 personal best: 2.19m.
Hello high jumping world!
Where are we now
From Youth Olympic Games to Olympic Games and everywhere in between. It has been an eventful 10 years to this point, but we are only just getting into the good stuff.
Since my first competition in the Australian uniform in Singapore, I have represented Australia another 7 times.
2012 World Junior Championships, Barcelona.
2013 World Championships, Moscow.
2014 Commonwealth Games, Glasgow.
2015 World Championships, Beijing.
2016 Olympic Games, Rio de Janeiro.
2017 was an interesting year. It was the first time I would be starting the season after a surgery, and the first year I would have my first competition of the season overseas (Japan). Things were looking up after the Japanese trip, however it all slowed down a bit. Still needing a World Champs qualifier (2.30m) and my body not where it should've been, the 2017 season drew to a close.
2018 Commonwealth Games, Gold Coast.
2019 World Championships, Doha.
