Above is a story in todays local paper in Caboolture. The article discusses the Sports Museum that they are hoping to build at the side of Dolphins Health Precinct. In the meantime, DHP have agreed to showcase selected items for all to see in our very own display room. In a couple of months the display will change to something else.
Currently, the display is the actual racing wheelchair that Geoff Trappett set a number of records. In 2003 at an event in Canberra, Trappett set a World Record in the 100m sprint; however he disqualified himself because he had made a false start that no-one else had noticed. Two weeks later he ran the same event in the Gold Coast in a World Record time of 13.99 seconds. At the 2004 Athens Paralympics, he won a silver medal in the Men's 4 x 100m T53–54 event.
Keep your eyes open for the next piece of Sporting History to grace the DHP display area!
