This remarkable achievement highlights their hard work and dedication as they continue to excel in their sport. We couldn’t be prouder of these talented athletes and can’t wait to cheer them on as they represent Australia on the international stage!
Olivia Olechnowicz
Olivia is a strong, versatile point guard with an impressive ability to finish at the rim from any angle, even in traffic and with contact. Her capability to hit three-pointers makes her a formidable threat both inside and out. In addition to her offensive skills, Olivia excels on the defensive end, bringing high intensity, securing steals, and applying pressure on opponents. She has earned her spot on the Australian team through continuous hard work and dedication.
Andrew Watene
Andrew is a point guard with an exceptional ability to read the game. As a strong and athletic player, he plays not just for himself but for his entire team. A great leader and role model for his teammates, Andrew showcases a diverse skill set, from finishing at the rim to knocking down three-pointers and playing lockdown defence. He consistently steps up at every level, both on and off the court, and has worked tirelessly to reach this position.
