Congratulations to Cougars U19 player Ruby Pekin-Schlicht, who has received an Athletic/Academic scholarship to St Thomas Aquinas College in New York City.
Ruby headed over to NYC on January 1 and started training on the January 2nd, and is already feeling settled while enjoying all the training.
She is currently training 2/3 times a day (which for Ruby is heaven) and recently competed in the ‘Eastern States Conference’ in the 60m hurdles, long jump, triple jump, 4×400 relay and high jump.
Her team placed first in their 4 x 400 heat and third over all, not a bad start after only being here for 10 days!
The Geelong Netball Club wishes Ruby all the best on this exciting chapter and opportunity.
