Walk of Fame |
Genevieve Gregson, a professional athlete and three-time Olympian, has made a name for herself in distance running. Her outstanding achievements began long before the global stage when she joined JPC in Year 5. She excelled in sports and won the Bradley Cup for four consecutive years. Genevieve achieved remarkable feats, including three Olympic appearances before Paris 2024 and an Australian record in the 3000m steeplechase in 2016.
She transitioned to marathon running despite an Achilles injury in her second Olympic final. Genevieve continues to excel, achieving the second-fastest debut time recorded by an Australian female during the 2023 Gold Coast Marathon. She was the third woman home and the first Australian woman to win the Oceania marathon championships women's title. With a remarkable marathon time of 2:23:08 in the Valencia Marathon in 2023, Genevieve became the third-fastest Australian woman in history.
Genevieve believes she still has much to achieve in sports and is not ready to retire. We wish Genevieve all the best as she competes at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 in the marathon.
