Claudia Hollingsworth is an excellent schoolgirl footballer, and also an elite runner. So, what was she to do? Footy or the track? | mickgleeson
Claudia Hollingsworth faced a choice between her two great loves. There was no bad option, but there was no easy one either.
She will fly in, compete, get back on a plane, and fly straight to Miami for a team camp before heading to Cali, Colombia, for the world junior championships. Then back to school at Mentone Grammar for term three of year 11. Life is a whirlwind.“My goal has been world juniors so to get on the team for the world championships is just amazing. I didn’t think it would happen.“I turned down the footy this year because I wanted to focus on getting to world juniors.
“From my point of view, she is in year 11 - she has another year left of school. If, at the end of year 12, the running is what she wants to do, then I have done a great job. She may choose footy and that is fine to but at this point she is good with running.
