Placing in the Top 10 in the world for some of these events was an amazing effort. Many thanks to coaches Elly Meteyard, Jasmine Hawkins and Mrs Hawkins for helping to prepare these athletes.
Jasmine Hawkins (King’s Class of 2021 and Skipperoos Coach) competed at the World Championships (16yrs+) in ten events. Jasmine successfully won a silver medal, two bronze medals and a 4th in the world for individual consecutive triple unders, breaking her own Australian record. Jasmine was the only female Australian athlete to qualify for the Grand Finals (Top 6) at the World Championships in an individual event. A huge feat, and we are very proud of her.
The Skipperoos are looking for male athletes to join their team where they will attempt to qualify in 2024 for the 2025 World Championships, which will be held in Kawasaki, Japan. Please contact Mrs Hawkins or Miss Meteyard.
