Young champs get ticket to Gold Coast

TWO young locals have been invited to take part in the 2023 Coles Little Athletics Australia High performance training camp this October.

Athletes, Kai Norton and Jasper Seymour, from Bendigo Little Athletics Centre were invited to the camp after they won medals in shot put and discus at the Australian Little Athletes championships earlier this year.

Camp participants will take part in training and recovery sessions, workshops, and social activities.

They will also have the opportunity to learn from professional international and national athletes, who will be there to provide coaching and support.

Olympic and Commonwealth games gold medallist Glynis Nunn has been involved with the camp for the past 11 years said she looked forward to meeting the new athletes.

“I am always very pleased to be able to contribute to the development of up and coming Little Athletes,” she said.

“Nothing gives me more pleasure than to see Little Athletes performing at the best and enjoying themselves at the same time.”

The camp will take place over four days in October and is set to be held at Runaway Bay on the Gold Coast in Queensland.
