The Adelaide Thunderbirds have announced four South Australian athletes as their training partners for the 2022 season.
Lucy Austin, Chelsea Blackman, Tyler Orr and Molly Watson will all return after making up four of the five training partners for the club in 2021.
The fifth training partner from 2021, Tayla Williams, was elevated to the Thunderbirds’ official side of 10 for season 2022.
Thunderbirds head coach Tania Obst said she was pleased to have all four familiar faces back to the club next season.
“It’s exciting to retain four of our five training partners from 2021, after our fifth training partner Tayla Williams was elevated to our Thunderbirds squad for 2022,” Obst said.
“Tayla’s elevation to an official contract is a great example of the training partner program paying off for both the club and the athlete.
“Lucy, Chelsea, Tyler and Molly have all taken great strides in their development and I look forward to working with them again,” Obst said.
The Thunderbirds commenced pre-season training on Monday, November 22.
