I was running quicker than I ever had.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Her career personal best at Geelong was quickly followed by an under-20 state 100m gold medal win and an invite to compete at the Maurie Plant Meet.<\/p>\n<p>At the Australian under-age championships in Brisbane, in April, she placed fourth in the under-20 100m final, before earning gold as part of Victoria&#8217;s record-setting 4x100m relay team.<\/p>\n<p>Those performances helped book her ticket to the US.<\/p>\n<p>If qualifying for the junior worlds wasn&#8217;t tough enough, keeping her selection news a secret, which she was required to do for nearly a week, proved just as demanding for Estlick.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I actually received the email while I was at training with my coach. I screamed so loud,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t believe it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30038\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30038\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30038 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2026\/05\/Mac1_63088.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"1600\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mackenzie Estlick, pictured with her relay gold from the recent Australian under-age championships, has capped a long-time dream by making the Australian team for the junior world championships.

I just wanted to tell everyone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was such a nervous wait, however my mum and coach believed I would make it in for the relay. They have so much faith it me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am really excited to be representing my country and wearing the green and gold.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Scheduled to depart for the US at the end of July, Estlick&#8217;s preparation for the next month will consist of three to four running sessions a week and one in the gym.<\/p>\n<p>The team will head to Queensland in June for a training camp.<\/p>\n<p>Crucially, Estlick is experiencing no major lingering problems with her foot, despite pulling up a little sore after nationals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s only been seven months since my operations, so there are still some little niggles especially if I run bends, but other than that I feel fantastic,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>The world juniors will mark her international competition debut, with Estlick having only ever travelled overseas once before to Bali.<\/p>\n<p>There will be a familiar face alongside her in the relay team, with Ballarat&#8217;s Grace Crowe, the current Victorian 60m title holder and a dual medallist at the junior nationals, also bound for the US.<\/p>\n<p>The remainder of the relay team squad is comprised of athletes from Queensland and Western Australia.<\/p>\n<p>As she prepares to represent her country, a GoFundMe page titled One Dream\u2022One Team \u2013 Macca&#8217;s Road to the USA has been established to help Estlick with the significant costs including travel, accommodation, uniforms, training, recovery and competition expenses.<\/p>\n<p>The teenager said a seemingly &#8216;endless&#8217; list of thank yous started with her family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They have supported and encouraged me every step of the way since I first started Little Athletics 10 years ago,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They sacrifice so much to help me compete and chase my dreams, and for that I am forever grateful.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A huge thank you also to my coach, Gerrard Keating, and the GK Racers team.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I truly would not have come this far without their guidance, belief, and support. They really are like a second family to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Estlick acknowledged the support of long-term sponsors &#8211; Nathan Griffith at The Accountant Group Geelong, Michael, Brendan and the team at Western Region Osteo, the Community Bank Bacchus Marsh, and Mark at Regional Tyre Service Bacchus Marsh &#8211; and four new local sponsors &#8211; Ray White Bacchus Marsh, H and K Automotive, BP Maddingley and City West Construction.<\/p>\n<p>Quick to throw its support behind Estlick, the Bacchus Marsh Little Athletic Centre celebrated her success via its social media accounts.<\/p>\n<p>It was at the BMLAC where her athletics journey started 10 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is an amazing achievement and a true reflection of Macca&#8217;s dedication and commitment to her athletics journey,&#8221; the BMLAC said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As you can imagine, competing internationally comes with significant expenses.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If any BMLAC families or supporters would like to help Macca chase her dream and represent her country, please consider supporting her GoFundMe page and donating if you can.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s get behind Macca and show the amazing support of the BMLAC community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To donate, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/gofundme.com\/f\/one-dreamone-team-maccas-road-to-the-usaMore\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gofundme.com\/f\/one-dreamone-team-maccas-road-to-the-usaMore<\/a> sport on page 21.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BACCHUS Marsh sprint ace Mackenzie Estlick has capped a rollercoaster 12 months full of highs and lows by gaining selection in the Australian team for the World Under 20 Athletics Championships.
