Bathurst's Roxy George finishes fourth in age category at Torian Pro in Brisbane

George competed across six different workouts over two days, testing her strength and stamina against nine other contenders in her age category who had also progressed from the open qualifiers.

It was the first opportunity the competitors had to see each other in person after competing against one another online for a ticket to the Queensland event.

A highlight for George was her third place in the final workout - an alternating series of pullups and thrusters.

George said it was exciting to be a part of the atmosphere and was thrilled to come away with her fourth place result.

"I was happy with my result. I finished around fourth and fifth consistently in my workouts," she said.

"I really enjoyed the last workout, and also the fourth one. After that one there was one girl left who was still competing so we all went over to her to cheer her on until she got through.

"It was the first time we'd met each other because all our other competitions have been online. It was really cool being able to compete against them in person.

"The setup there was amazing. It was perfect."

George was incredibly appreciate for all the support that she'd received to reach the Torian Pro.

"I want to thank everyone for all the messages that they'd sent me and all the support they've shown, and to thank all the people who came down to cheer me on," she said.

One of those who was present was her very proud father, Dan.

He said it was a joy to see his daughter's hours of dedication pay off.

"It was an awesome experience for her up there. The celebration of her hard work and dedication is something you can take away from it as well," he said.

"Getting there takes a lot of hours of work in the gym. It's getting the nutrition, the recovery and the sleep right. That was an awesome celebration of all that work and a great atmosphere to be a part of.

"It was a red hot field. I had the coach's shoes on at stages and had the dad shoes on at other stages, and by the end of it I couldn't have been more proud of her.

"She really loved the last workout. It was a sprint involving pull ups and thrusters. She said to me 'Dad, I'm going to have a crack at this one'. She did the first 30 pull ups unbroken and the first at the barbell - it was an awesome one to finish with."
