Local rider Max Teague has achieved outstanding success at the 2026 GWM Mountain Bike National Championships held in Mt Buller, Victoria.

Set against stunning landscapes, the Championships delivered five days of elite racing across Downhill, Cross Country Olympic, Short Track and Team Relay disciplines.

Max excelled and delivered a standout performance across multiple events, beginning with a dominant ride in the Junior Team Relay (XCR), where his team secured victory in convincing fashion.

He backed this up with an exceptional performance in the U15 Men’s Short Course Cross Country (XCC), where he claimed the win and earned the title of Australian National Champion.

Max next competed in the U15 Men’s Olympic Cross Country (XCO) event, taking home the silver with an excellent performance, making the Mackay & District MTB Club proud.

Max’s journey into cycling began at an early age in Germany, where his love for speed and adventure was born. Over the years, that passion evolved into a serious dedication to racing, as he developed a deep love for the challenges and thrills that come with competing at a high level.

Looking ahead, Max dreams big—he’d love to win gold at the 2032 Olympics in XC MTB.

According to sponsors Mackay Cycles: “With his dedication and relentless drive, there’s no telling how far he’ll go.”

“We recognise the dedication, preparation and support behind Max’s success, including his family, coaches and the broader cycling community,” they shared.

“His achievements reflect the strength of junior cycling development and the growing presence of regional athletes on the national stage.”

The North Mackay Sinkers are pleased to acknowledge club member Pierre Craven on achieving an exceptional milestone in the Vorgee Million Metres Program. Pierre has officially surpassed 3 million metres, completing this remarkable distance in just three years.

This achievement reflects an extraordinary level of commitment to regular training and longterm participation in Masters swimming. Averaging one million metres per year and over in some years, Pierre has demonstrated the consistency, discipline, and personal drive that underpin the Million Metres Program and the broader values of Masters Swimming.

Pierre’s biggest year to date in 2025 saw some 1,234,000 metres completed. That’s over 23km a week and, over 100km each month of 2025. No easy feat, and contributed to his rapid progression through the program.

A Significant Contribution to the Spirit of Masters Swimming

Pierre is widely regarded within the club for his steady work ethic and positive presence at training. His approach exemplifies the Masters ethos of sustained fitness, personal challenge, and community engagement. His progress through the Million Metres levels provides a strong example for swimmers across Queensland who are pursuing their own longdistance goals.

Recognition of a Major Milestone

Reaching the 3 Million Metres level is a distinguished accomplishment within the national program, earning formal recognition from Masters Swimming Australia. Pierre’s achievement adds to the North Mackay Sinkers’ growing record of participation in the Million Metres Program and highlights the club’s culture of dedication and continuous improvement.

The Sinkers congratulate Pierre on this outstanding milestone and acknowledges the commitment required to reach it. His achievement is a testament to perseverance and a valuable contribution to the Masters swimming community in Queensland.

On Wednesday 11 March, the club hosted a truly exciting game of bowls, filled with ups and downs, tension, and some brilliant shots from all the ladies on the green.

Brenda Trannore and Wendy Sonter faced off against the more experienced duo of Nuggy Pratt and Lorraine Lemke. Despite the nerves, Trannore and Sonter kept their composure, executing their shots with precision and ultimately claiming a well-deserved victory.

The match was one of the best seen on the greens, with nearly every end showing a tightly contested head and exceptional bowling from all players.

Congratulations to Brenda, Wendy, Nuggy and Lorraine on a game that had everyone at the club on the edge of their seats.

Thirteen players from Mackay attended the Rockhampton Congress last weekend competing in Pairs and Team events. First and second in Section A Teams were Mackay’s Bugeia and Sheedy teams, however, the stand out performance of the weekend was team Howe!

The Howe team not only won the Section C Teams event, but finished fifth overall out of twenty teams. This feat outperformed many seasoned Section A and B teams. The Howe team consisted of experienced players, Noel Saunders and Martin Pearce, along with Annette Howe and Jewel Schmidt to create the successful winning combination. Annette and Jewel are new to the game and their dedication and knowledge gained in only two years of play is to be commended. Well done team!

On Wednesday 25 February the ladies at Marian Bowls Club put on an afternoon tea to celebrate three new members being given Life Membership. It was a lovely afternoon for all, with family members also attending.  

Sue Austin joined the Club in 1991 and was asked to take on the position of Games Controller virtually on joining.  Sue did this job for 35 years, and whilst she has stood down from this position to be Assistant Games Controller, Sue is still active at the Club despite health issues over the past year.

Lorraine Hamilton joined the Club in 1980 as a very young player.  During her time with the Club she has taken on positions as President (twice) and Senior Vice President, Selector and Assistant Treasurer. She is always available to help wherever needed as well as being an active bowler.

Katie Moohin joined the Club in 1998.  During her 28 years with the Club she has been President (twice), Selector and also a major Sponsor for many years of the Master 4's competition held at the Club; a major fundraiser event with bowlers coming from the whole district to participate.

A remarkable young talent has emerged from our community, and her achievement is something we can all celebrate. At just 13 years old, Shailee Mewha has secured an outstanding second-place finish in the 3000m event at the Queensland Athletic Championships—an accomplishment that has earned her qualification for the Australian Athletics Competition later this year.

Shailee’s success is not just about a silver medal; it reflects dedication, discipline, and countless hours of preparation. Competing against some of the best young athletes in the state, she demonstrated resilience and determination well beyond her years. Her performance is a testament to what can be achieved through hard work and passion.

Looking ahead, Shailee is set to compete in multiple demanding events, including the 1500m, 3000m, 2000m, and the challenging steeplechase. Such versatility highlights her strength and commitment as a distance runner.

Our community stands firmly behind her, inspired by her journey and proud of her achievements. Shailee represents the spirit of perseverance and excellence we value so deeply. As she prepares to take the national stage, we wish her every success and look forward to cheering her on in the next chapter of what promises to be a very bright future.

Proserpine Junior Cricket has wrapped up an outstanding 2025/26 season, with a record 140 player registrations highlighting the club’s continued growth and the strength of cricket in the region.

The club fielded its highest number of teams in the Mackay Junior Cricket competition, including its first all-girls team, two additional Under 11 sides, and representation across every age group—making Proserpine the highest participating club.

Success extended beyond participation. Proserpine reached the finals in every eligible age group, with both the Under 15 and Under 17 sides finishing as minor premiers. The Under 17s capped off their campaign with a Grand Final win.

The season also highlighted the strength of the club’s development pathways, with many players earning representative honours across school, regional and state programs. Selections included Northern school teams, Northern Alliance squads, Century Championship competitions in Brisbane, and T20 Smash events. Several players progressed into Central Queensland and Queensland Country pathways.

One player earned selection in the Queensland School Boys team, while another was named in the Queensland Indigenous Training Squad—further demonstrating the depth of talent within the club.

Club President Mike Hope praised the continued progress.

“It is great to see so many of our Junior Pitbulls taking these opportunities and progressing their cricket,” he said.

“Our juniors can now see a clear pathway into future opportunities. Anything is possible.”

Off the field, the club celebrated its presentation day on Saturday, March 15, recognising achievements across all age groups.

Lily Smith was named Female Player of the Season and Club Captain. Champion Player awards went to Hector Valmadre (Under 12s), Bradley Hetherington (Under 14s), and Will Marshall (Under 17s). Ben Hope was named Representative Player of the Season, while Robyn Geisler received Volunteer of the Season.

The club also claimed the prestigious Graham Brown Club Championship Award at the Mackay Cricket and Mackay Whitsunday awards.

Further recognition has come with Queensland Cricket Award nominations, including Volunteer of the Year for Jess and Michael Hope, and Sarah Logan, as well as a nomination for Association of the Year.

With strong participation, growing representative success, and continued community support, Proserpine Junior Cricket is well placed for an even bigger season ahead.

And as always — go the mighty Pitbulls!

Cannonvale Cannons swimmers and families travelled to Mackay last weekend for the North Queensland Championships, where very challenging weather conditions played a major role in the event. Heavy rain and lightning ultimately forced officials to cancel the final day of competition on Sunday after two days of difficult conditions in and around the pool.

North Queensland Swimming officials are currently working through the results manually to determine the Age Champions and Champion Club standings. With the final tallies still being calculated, the Cannons look forward to reporting the full results from the meet next week.

What we can celebrate straight away, however, is the Cannons’ fantastic effort in the Grand Parade. The club proudly took home the Grand Parade prize thanks to an impressive flotilla of ships, complete with watergun cannons and a crew of enthusiastic pirates. A massive thank you goes to Ginger White for the time and effort put into organising the flotilla and bringing the Cannons’ pirate theme to life.

Back at the club, it has been an exciting fortnight for young swimmer Lucas Korosec, who has claimed an incredible five club records in just two weeks. Lucas set a new mark in the 9 Years Boys 200m Individual Medley with a time of 3:07.06, breaking a record previously held by Abel Morris since 1999 (3:15.37). He also set new records in the 9 Years Boys 100m Backstroke (1:27.67) and 50m Freestyle (35.06), both previously held by Jy Parkinson since 2015. Lucas also added new records in the 9 Years Boys 200m Freestyle and 100m Individual Medley. Well done, Lucas — the club is incredibly proud of your achievements.

Congratulations also go to swimmers who achieved grade upgrades over the past fortnight: Kaitlyn Moon, Wilson Hounsell, Hamilton Anflous, Pippa Laguna, Levi Smith, Giaan Lee, Alex Trefz, Mackenzie Bennett and Harper Plested.

With only three club nights remaining this season, it’s shaping up to be an exciting finish for the Cannons.
