QLD Track and Field Championships 2024
Day 1 Not sure of Paul Circosta’s recent form in the Javelin after some tips from Adrian Keen at Masters but Adrian himself continues to be a factor in the Throws with 34.41m for 12th in Open Discus at the State Track and Field Championships at QE2 tonight.

Sally Pearson Shield 2024
A very meritorious 5th place out of 40 clubs for us as the QE2 Kookaburra as is traditional was on hand to declare the Track and Field Shield season closed at today’s Sally Pearson Shield.

Cathy Freeman Shield 2024
With some clashes with other events this week with the Cathy Freeman Shield at QE2 today we were never going to quite ascend the lofty heights of the podium like last week from an overall team perspective.

Denise Boyd Shield 2024
Another really tremendous performance by our team today grabbing 6th place out of 42 clubs at the Denise Boyd Shield at QE2. Conditions were hot and humid although there were favourable but sometimes illegal tailwinds that helped the sprinters. Among the standouts were Laura Bray who ran the fastest Women’s 2k Steeplechase of the day… Read More

In maybe the stickiest couple of months of conditions we have experienced at QE2 I have been really impressed by the commitment and support of our athletes and parents like Haiden and Russell Boyd showing the grit that’s necessary in this sport above all else to keep fronting up and putting in each week. Haiden… Read More
