Strathpine athletes played a key role in Queensland’s dominant performance at the Australian Little Athletics Championships held in Adelaide from 26 to 27 April.
Strathpine Athletes Contribute to Queensland’s National Sweep
Three athletes from Strathpine Little Athletics Centre were part of the Queensland team at the 2025 Coles Australian Little Athletics Championships, with two delivering podium finishes and one ruled out due to injury.
Brock Miller and Tiarni Bitossi returned with multiple medals, while Ned Amorsen was unable to compete despite being selected.
Brock Miller Adds Gold and Bronze to Queensland’s Tally
Brock Miller took bronze in the Under 15 Combined Events Heptathlon, where he recorded personal bests in five of the seven events: 100m hurdles, 100m, 800m, long jump, and high jump. He significantly improved his discus mark, extending it from 41.24m to 50.50m.
Miller contributed to Queensland’s victory in the Under 15 4x100m mixed relay, which was completed in 47.44 seconds. He was part of the group that earned Queensland the Life Members Trophy, which recognises the top-scoring team in the U15 Combined Events.
Tiarni Bitossi Earns Double Silver in National Debut
In her first year of competition, Tiarni Bitossi claimed two silver medals. She placed second in the Under 15 Girls 300m hurdles with a time of 46.24 seconds and also ran in the Under 15 Girls 4x100m relay team, which clocked 50.81 seconds to secure silver.
Amorsen Withdraws Due to Injury
Strathpine’s Ned Amorsen was selected to represent Queensland in the Under 15 Boys category but withdrew ahead of the championships due to a pre-existing injury sustained earlier in the year.
Queensland’s Strong National Standing
Queensland achieved a standout overall result at the championships, taking out four national team titles:
- Under 15 Combined: Champions
- Under 15 Individuals: Champions
- Under 14: Champions
- Under 13 Adjusted: Champions
- Under 13 Overall Points: 2nd Place
The performances from athletes such as Miller and Bitossi were instrumental in Queensland’s multi-category success.
