With the Paris Olympics now behind us, it's time to celebrate the remarkable achievements of our St Peters Old Scholars and current students who competed on the world stage. Their performances have undoubtedly inspired the next generation of athletes at St Peters.

Under the expert guidance of Dolphins Coach and St Peters Swimming Head Coach Dean Boxall, our swimmers excelled, bringing home an impressive 10 medals, setting a new Australian record, and smashing three Olympic records.

Mollie O'Callaghan (2022) emerged as Australia's most successful athlete at the Paris Games, securing three gold medals, along with a silver and a bronze. She set a new Olympic record in the Women's 200m Freestyle with a time of 1:53.27 and was part of the relay teams that set Olympic records in the Women's 4x100m and 4x200m Freestyle.

Ariarne Titmus (2018) claimed gold in the Women's 400m Freestyle and delivered a thrilling performance in the Women's 800m Freestyle, where she won silver while setting a personal best and a new Australian record. In the Women's 200m Freestyle final, Ariarne faced off against her teammate Mollie, securing silver in Australia's first Olympic swimming 1-2 finish since Athens 2004. She also swam in the Women's 4x200m Freestyle relay team that set a new Olympic record of 7:38.08.

Several other Old Scholars also shone in Paris. Jamie Perkins (2022), Kai Taylor (2021), Ella Ramsay (2022), and Jack Cartwright (2015) all medalled in their relay events during their Olympic debuts, while Eve Thomas (2018) represented New Zealand in her second Olympics, reaching the final in the Women's 4x200m Freestyle relay.

On the athletics track, Torrie Lewis (2022), who holds the national record for the Women's 100m sprint, made her Olympic debut, reaching the semi-finals in the Women's 200m.

In a fantastic achievement, two current students also made their Olympic debut in Paris. Jaclyn B (Year 12), the youngest member of the Dolphins team, and Anahira M (Year 9), who represented Fiji, gained invaluable experience competing at the highest level.

The Olympics is the ultimate test of sporting excellence and often a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent one's country. We are immensely proud of these talented athletes, whose grit, determination, and countless hours of training were rewarded with the chance to compete against the best in the world. Congratulations to all!
