THE MELBOURNE Football Club would like to congratulate Jess Trengove on her selection in the London Olympics team.

Jess, the older sister of Jack Trengove, has been selected to compete in the marathon alongside teammates Lisa Weightman and Benita Wilis.

In her first attempt at the marathon earlier this year, Jess recorded a surprise Olympic A-qualifying time. She then endured a nervous wait until the close of the qualifying period before she was officially announced in the Olympic Team.

Jack expressed his excited via Twitter, “Huge congrats to my big sis @jesstrengove on making the Aus Olympic Team for the marathon! Unreal effort and very well deserved #london2012”.

Jess and Jack have provided much support for each other throughout their sporting endeavours. Last year they spoke to melbournefc.com.au about their friendship. To read the full story, click here.
