Congratulations to Big Foot Year 12 student Alastair George who has been chosen in the Australian team for the junior world champs in Hungary in July.
Alastair had a fantastic Easter carnival, finishing third across the four days in Tasmania - including a second and a third placing - in the strong M20E age class.
"Stoked," was all the Turramurra HS student could utter - the huge smile across his beaming face making conversation difficult!
