A DYNAMIC duo from the Coffs Coast have become national champions in Sport Aerobics.

Sienna Porter and Madeleine Ward combined to win the national title for their pairs routine at the Schoolaerobics National Championships in Adelaide.

The pair represented B Wild Fitness and Sport Aerobics at the championships, which is the largest inter-school Sportaerobic competition for primary and secondary school students in Australia.

The pair also excelled individually, with Madeleine finishing second for her individual routine, and Sienna finishing third.

Their coach Brooklyn Leonard said the pair’s work ethic played a big part in them becoming national champions.

“Both are so determined to do their best, and they never miss a training session,” she said.

“Madeleine trains six days a week, and also does fitness and strength training when I’m not with her, and Sienna also trains most days of the week.

“They definitely have a good work ethic and I think that was the difference.”

The proud coach said it was a bit of a shock to see them win the national title.

“I knew they had the potential, but the competition is so hard, and it was our first time at the Schoolaerobics National Championships, so you don’t know what you’re up against until the day.

“So it was a bit of a shock to see them win, especially because it was so far to go.

“It was so worth it. It’s such a good outcome, and their goal next year is to defend their title at the National Championships in Hobart.”
