It was a great weekend for the Kurrajong Training Squad at the State Little Athletics Championships.
The squad claimed seven individual medals and a state record at Homebush late last month.
Brooke Keller won gold medals in the under 11 triple jump and long jump while Lianna Davidson also won gold and set a new state record in the under 12 javelin.
Toby Camilleri took out the under 9 discus while Tully Murphy and Caitlyn Ferrier won silver in the under 14 triple jump and under 13 400m final respectively.
Ferrier also made the final of the 200m and smashed her own personal best time to finish sixth.
Her training partner Caleb Fairweather won a bronze medal in the 80m hurdles final and also ran a personal best time in the 200m hurdles final where he finished sixth.
Jess Keller just missed a medal on a countback in the under 14 high jump while Lauren Russell made the final in all three of her events in her final year of Little Athletics.
Georgia Portelli was also a finalist in both her under 11 throws events.
Four Kurrajong Training Squad athletes also competed in the 93rd Australian Athletics Championships in Brisbane with Sara Klein’s silver medal in the open women’s 400m hurdles final the highlight.
It was a silver double for the Klein sisters with Kirsty Klein finishing second in the open women’s 10,000m track walk.
Jack Bangel and Jo Dawson also competed in the heats of the open men’s and women’s 400m hurdles respectively.
