In just seven years, the world will turn its attention to the Sunshine Coast for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

On 23 July, Mayor Rosanna Natoli was joined by Member for Caloundra Kendall Moreton, and a group of young local athletes at Lake Kawana to plant a ceremonial tree, officially launching 7 Years to Grow—a vibrant initiative to green our backyard and celebrate our region’s growth on the road to 2032.

With an ambitious goal to give away 2032 trees to be planted in thousands of backyards, schools and clubs across the region, Divisional Councillors will hold 20 free tree events from July 23 until September 5.

The initiative also includes the planting of 500 trees at the Sunshine Coast Ecological Park and 92 trees on Sportsmans Parade alongside the Sunshine Coast Stadium–set to host Olympic Football in 2032.

Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said the trees planted in the coming months will grow and thrive, just as our region will over the next seven years as we prepare to co-host the Games in our backyard.

“It’s incredible to think that on July 23 in seven years’ time, the opening ceremony will light up South East Queensland, and the Sunshine Coast will be on the world’s stage,” Mayor Natoli said.

“Our preparations go beyond co-hosting. We’re focused on building a legacy that supports long-term growth across the Sunshine Coast.

“The Games will bring increased visibility, investment and opportunity to the Sunshine Coast, supporting growth across tourism, transport, local business, environment and infrastructure.

“Two of our Games venues are progressing to procurement and will be some of the first in Queensland to come out of the ground.

“Our community will be able to enjoy the upgraded Sunshine Coast Stadium and the new Mountain Bike Centre at Parklands well before, and long after, the closing ceremony in 2032.”

Mayor Natoli said she also anticipated an exciting expansion in regional sports on the Sunshine Coast, including the growth and development of our young athletes.

“We have so much talent on the Sunshine Coast and our young athletes are already training with dedication for the opportunity to represent their region and their country at a home Games.

“I cannot wait to see what our region, our community and our athletes can achieve over the next seven years and beyond.”

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 26, 2025) – The U.S. Boys U19 National Team won its second consecutive match at the FIVB U19 World Championship with a hard-fought 3-2 (25-19, 19-25, 25-18, 30-32, 15-9) victory over Colombia on Saturday in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

After a day off, the U.S. (2-1) will face Brazil (1-2) on Monday, July 28, at 8 a.m. PT.

The U.S. held a substantial advantage in kills (66-47), while also leading in blocks (9-3) and aces (9-8). Colombia made 15 fewer errors (45-30).

“It was a great learning experience for our guys. You’re on the road, you’re traveling, you’re grinding a little bit and facing a lot of adversity with a lot of things out of their control happening that could have set them off task. We stayed the course,” said U.S. head coach Charlie Sullivan. “I’m really proud of the focus, and even though we had moments where we weren’t sure, we stuck to the plan and the guys did a great job staying together and executing down the stretch. I’m really proud of the set five victory.”

MATCH STATISTICS

Outside hitter Grant Lamoureux led the U.S. for the third consecutive time, taking it to a new level with match-bests of 31 points–25 kills and five aces to go with a block.

Middle blocker Roman Payne scored 16 points on 13 kills, a block and two aces. Opposite William Dryden totaled 11 points on eight kills, two blocks and an ace. Middle Thomas Henige rounded out the team’s double-digit scorers with 10 points on seven kills and a match-high three blocks.

Libero Layton Bluth led all players with 13 digs and added six successful receptions. Setter Lucas Helle contributed six digs with one kill, block and ace. Outside hitter Elan Taylor finished with eight points on seven kills and a block, adding four digs and three successful receptions.

Lamoureux served back-to-back aces to put the U.S. ahead 11-7 in the first set. A Payne ace stretched the lead to five (13-8), and a kill by opposite Corbin Batista put the U.S. ahead 16-9 and forced Colombia to use its second timeout. Payne ended the set with his fourth kill and fifth point. Lamoureux led all players with six points on four kills to go with his two aces.

Cuba scored the first four points of the second set and jumped out to a 10-3 lead. The U.S. used a 5-0 run to close the gap to two points, 14-12, but were unable to get any closer. Lamoureux again scored six points, this time on five kills and his third ace.

The U.S. never trailed in the third set, taking a quick 5-2 lead on a Taylor kill. Colombia pulled within a point, 9-8, but a Dryden kill and two more Lamoureux aces moved the lead back to four points.

Colombia scored twice to cut the lead to three, 21-18, but misplayed an overpass, and a Lamoureux kill made it 22-18. A Helle ace, a Taylor block, and another Lamoureux kill ended the set. Dryden scored six points on five kills and a block, while Lamoureux added three kills to his two aces for five points.

Back-to-back aces completed a 10-1 Colombia run in the fourth set that turned a 6-4 deficit into a 14-7 lead. A Payne ace off the tape and a Henige kill on an overpass ended a 12-5 U.S. run that evened the space at 19. The set was tied 11 more times with the U.S. having four match points and saving three set points before Colombia tied the match at two sets apiece. Lamoureux finished with nine points on eight kills and a block.

Taking advantage of a series of Colombia errors, the U.S. took a four-point lead into the side switch in the deciding set. Lamoureux scored off an overpass and a key up by Helle kept a rally alive that ended with another Colombia error and an 8-4 U.S. lead.

After the teams traded points, Lamoureux delivered a kill off the block and Payne recorded a block for an 11-5 U.S. lead. Lamoureux’s fifth kill of the set made it 14-8. Colombia saved one match point, its fifth of the match, before the U.S. sealed the win.
