A number of children age 5 to 17 from Bowral Little Athletics have qualified for for the Regional Championships which will be held on February 11 and 12 in Wagga. 

Athletes qualified for the regional competition after their strong performances at the Zone Athletics Carnival which was held in Wollongong in December. 

All of the athletes who attended did an outstanding job and the club as whole achieved a fantastic result with a total of seven gold, 18 silver, and 13 bronze medals.

The following athletes secured themselves a position at regionals after their success at the zone level, 

The efforts of Bhodi Lee-Billinghurst and Alex Harris were also good enough to qualify them for the regional competition.

Under-7s athletes Pearl Stravoskoufis, who won a bronze medal in the 200m and a silver medal in the long jump , and Kallan Rendell, who won a silver medal in the 50m, a silver medal in the 70m and a bronze medal in the shotput, performed very well at the zone competition but unfortunately did not qualify for the Regional competition. 

The Bowral Little Athletics club has produced some very talented young athletes and committee members said they were proud of the children’s achievements. 

Bowral Little Athletics Club has a proud history going back over 25 years.

Children ranging in age from 5-17 compete in sprinting, distance running, long jump, triple jump, high jump, discus, shot put and javelin in a fun, supportive environment and the results speak for themselves.

Little Athletics places an emphasis is on fun, participation, performance, technique and getting involved with your family in physical and healthy activity. Little Athletics recognises that children vary widely in shape, size and athletic ability, and is thus one of few sports that successfully caters for them all.
