- Rhyley Moore secured a bronze medal in the 1500m and gave solid performances in the 200m (8th) and 800m (9th);
- Ruby Wilson competed in the 15 years Javelin event and threw into the challenging head wind, although she wasn’t happy with the result she is determined to focus on improving in the coming year;
- Caleb Drew competed in the 12 Years Javelin and showcased his skills with an impressive performance, earning him a third place and a bronze medal also;
- Sienna Barber competed in the 14 Years Discus and finished ninth, with her remarkable best throw outshining her previous achievements performed at the CSSA State carnival by 2 metres; and
