On the Australia Day long weekend Collie Little Athletics had 17 children compete at the Country Championships over the Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
What a successful weekend. There were 33 personal bests, 18 medals and one new record between the little athletes.
All the children behaved well and represented Collie fantastically. What a great show of good sportsmanship.
