Tune in and support our athletes competing at the 2026 McDonald’s State Championships!

That’s a wrap on the 2025/26 season! 🎉

We would like to thank all of our amazing athletes for the huge effort they have put in this season. From training sessions to competition days, we’ve seen some fantastic performances and results.

Although we faced some tough challenges along the way. While many of us were away competing at Regional Relays, our club fields, canteen and storage sheds were flooded. Regional Relays were also cut short due to storms, and the Regional Championships were unfortunately cancelled because of rain and flooding.
Despite all of this, our athletes still achieved some incredible success:

• 10 athletes qualified for State Relays
• 9 athletes qualified for State Championships
• 13 club records were broken
• 78 athletes achieved an amazing 1,419 Personal Bests (PBs)

A huge thank you to all of our parents for your hard work throughout the season. From running age groups and supporting athletes to helping with the flood clean-up, your support has been incredible.

We would also like to thank our committee members for the work they do behind the scenes and every Saturday to ensure competition days run smoothly.

And finally, a massive thank you to our club’s major sponsor, Sportsline Australia, for your continued support and for helping make our fields look fantastic throughout the season.
Congratulations to everyone on a fantastic season, and we look forward to seeing you all again next season! 👏

Reminder for our athletes heading to states next weekend - is your uniform correct?

Before you enter the Call Room at the McDonald's State Championships, make sure you’re competition ready!

All athletes must be wearing their correct registered club uniform — including:
✔️ Correct bib placement
✔️ Coles patch attached
✔️ Remove old age labels
✔️ Cover any logos on athlete bottoms that are non-compliant

Our officials will be checking, so it’s best to sort it before you arrive at QSAC to avoid any last-minute stress.

For full details, please review the Uniform Policy here:

REMINDER!!!!

Pie Drive forms are due back this Saturday.
So don't forget to ask and get as many pies on your form.

Pies will be available to pick up at our breakup party

Congratulations to the 9 athletes we have progressing to state finals in March.
Very impressive to see u9 and u10 athletes making it as the younger ages usually come with much larger competition!!!
As Regionals was washed out these results were based of centre and LAQ sanctioned competition results (not relays). This once again reiterates the value of PBs and doing your best every single weekend... You can't just bring your A game to LAQ and regional comps you need to bring it each and every week!!!
