Ten young South Burnett athletes will be heading off to Brisbane next week to compete in the Little Athletics Queensland State Championships.
The youngsters all earned the right to take part in the championships after shining at the Regional Championships which were held at the Sunshine Coast University campus at Sippy Downs on February 22-23.
They returned from this competition with a swag of medals and personal best times.
The State Championships will be held at the Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre at Nathan (probably better known by its old names of QEII or ANZ Stadium) from March 13-15.
The South Burnett contingent will be competing in age groups ranging from Under 9 to Under 16:
- Under 9 – Emily Bolden – shot put, discus
