We have some amazing members! Thanks Jenny Rossiter for you article (Oct Newsletter): "U3A member, Cherie Dempsey, has recently been selected to represent Australia at the Masters Athletics Championships in South Korea in 2027. Cherie has been playing sport all her life – mainly netball, tennis and basketball (plus U3A pickleball). She began Masters Athletics in 1994. Earlier this year she competed at the National Masters here in Adelaide in six events. She qualified in three of the events to represent Australia.
She will be competing in the pentathlon, the weight throw (5.45 kg)
and the hammer throw (3Kg) in the 75 – 80-year-old age group.
Her motto is “Never Give Up” and “Keep on Going”. Congratulations to Cherie. She will do Australia proud. " Photo of Cherie Dempsey below from SA Masters Facebook site:
