Noosaville athlete Luca Gerrard will be heading to Melbourne this month to take part in the 2023 Coles Australian Little Athletics Championships from Friday 21 to Sunday 23 April.
Luca will be competing in the U14 boys 100m, Long Jump, triple Jump and Relays at the Lakeside Stadium event.
The 2023 Coles Australian Little Athletics Championships consists of three championship events across the weekend – the Australian Teams Championships, the Australian Combined Events Championships, and for the first time the Australian Junior Athletics Championships, where Australia’s best young athletes will compete for team and individual glory.
Based on individual performance at state level, top-performing Coles Little Athletics Australia athletes between the ages of U13 to U16 years across Australia have been invited to compete.
Coles Little Athletics Australia chief executive officer Myles Foreman said the organisation was thrilled with the introduction of the Australian Junior Athletics Championships which doubles the number of athletes who have the opportunity to participate in a national championship and builds upon the long history of the only state/territory team-based athletics competition of its type in Australia.
Committed to ensuring sporting events are inclusive and can be enjoyed by all, Coles Little Athletics Australia welcomes athletes, their families, volunteers, coaches and officials from all parts of the community including those with physical or cognitive disability. The 2023 Coles Australian Little Athletics Championships includes multi-class events across the three age divisions.
