Medals for little athletes

Fifty-three athletes from Little Athletics Noosa descended on the University of the Sunshine Coast’s Athletics Track for the annual Suncoast Regional Little Athletics Championships. Ranging in age from Under 7 to Under 17, these athletes embodied the Little Athletics’ motto of Family, Fun and Fitness by running, jumping and throwing their way to numerous PBs and medals. A total of 32 Noosa athletes have qualified for the State Championships in Brisbane, including Under 11 boys Thomas van Bruggen, Hayden Small and Flynn Roberts, who thrilled the crowd with a clean sweep of medals in the 800m finals. The two-day championships proved to be a new and exciting experience for Under 7 and Under 8 athletes, who had their participation medals presented to them by graduating Under 17 club captains, Taylor and Zane.
