Last year it was an all-boy affair with Cooper Thomson, Lachlan Kaszonyi, Blake Hartnett and Sam Taylor competing in the U18 4 x 400m and 4 x 200m relays finishing 7th in both events. They also ran in the U20 4 x 100m finishing 5th. In the field Cooper Thomson, Siwa Harvey-Aziz, Blake Hartnett and Sam Taylor competed in the U18 discus and shot and came away with two silver medals. Whilst in the U18 javelin and long jump events Lachlan Kaszonyi, Sam Taylor, Cooper Thomson and Blake Hartnett placed 4th.
