World Championships for Milanke Haasbroek

Modern Pentathlon Australia recently announced that CMCB Year 7 student Milanke Haasbroek will represent Australia at the 2026 UIPM (International Modern Pentathlon Union) Biathle & Triathle World Championships in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal, from 26 October to 1 November.

In less than one year, the hardworking and talented student has already made her mark on the sporting scene at Catherine McAuley College Bendigo, representing the College in all swimming, cross-country, and athletics events. In July, Milanke qualified for the Australian Cross Country Championship.

At the recent Loddon Mallee Division Track and Field Regional Championships, Milanke produced a remarkable performance in the 12-13 Years Girls 1500m event. She not only claimed first place but also broke the long-standing Loddon Mallee Regional record, running an impressive time of 4:57.33. The previous record of 5:48.06 had stood since 2017, making this achievement even more significant.

Congratulations Milanke! We wish you every success in Portugal.
