Blade Thompson from the Tweed Little Athletics Centre has been selected to be part of the National High-Performance Camp held in the Gold Coast this week.
Blade takes part in the long hurdles and finished first at the recent 2023 Little Athletics Queensland Championships.
The camp is designed to offer each athlete an opportunity to improve themselves, on the track, in recovery, preparation, psychology and gain a better understanding of the journey and process that is required to assist with their own development, in the high-performance pathway.
Olympic Gold Medalist Glynis Nunn OAM who is the driving force behind the camp since it began 11 years ago said: ‘I am always very pleased to be able to contribute to the development of up and coming Little Athletes and look forward to meeting them’.
