Seven young Byron Bay Runners have made state teams to compete in Athletics Australia’s national championships later this month in Adelaide.
They qualified either by time or achieving a podium finish at state championships.
Having this number of athletes achieving these standards from a small regional club is an outstanding achievement for both the athletes and club coaches supporting their training.
The athletes competing for national titles are: Amy Bailey (U/20 400m hurdles), Daniel Williams (U/18 800m and 1500m), Alexandra Dogan (U/14 1500m), Skye Dogan (U/16 2,000m steeplechase, 3,000m), Jett Beck (U/17 2,000m steeplechase), Connor McGreevy (U/16 2,000m steeplechase), Wyana Pietramale-Sewell (U/20 3,000m steeplechase).
Amy Bailey and Daniel Williams are the current state champions in their respective events.
