The College congratulates Lachlan Nicholls (Year 12 Purple) who on the weekend won the Modern Pentathlon Australia national championship’s Junior Male competition.
Lachlan claimed the Under-19 title with 1183 points, earning the maximum 300 points in the riding (the only athlete to do so).
It followed on from his gold medal win at the state Under-19 titles in February. Modern pentathlon includes swimming, show jumping, fencing and a laser run and is an Olympic sport.
In March, Lachlan was in Sydney competing in an open men’s epee national level fencing competition where he finished in 27th place, which was a good solid midfield result.
In December, he was part of the Victorian team which won the Australian Championship Cadet (Under-17) epee team gold medal and last year he also won gold at the Senior schools' epee individual fencing championship representing MLMC.
