HEYFIELD’S McKenna Wright is set to take off on an Eight Ball journey of a lifetime.

McKenna will represent the Victorian State Junior Eight Ball Team on the national stage, taking part in the Eight Ball Championships.

The Eight Ball Championships get underway next January in the West Australia capital, Perth.

For McKenna, this isn’t her first time representing Victoria, as she last competed in the under 12 girls division. Now, she is on to bigger and better things, qualifying for the U18 girls division for Victoria.

During qualifying, she placed within the top four to earn herself a spot on the team. Still 11-years-old, McKenna will be 12 once the championships come around, hence he qualification in the U18s.
