Several medals were won and the athletes had an enjoyable weekend doing their best in the running, jumping or throwing events.
Under 8s are not old enough to go to State but those 9-17 year olds who came first or second at Tamworth earned the right to compete at Sydney Olympic Park Athletic Centre on Friday to Sunday, March 20-22. Those who came third must wait to see if they are one of the up to eight additional competitors from across all regions, who get a guernsey for State.
