Athletics: Tamworth trio win gold at NSW Junior Championships

Gordon won gold in his under-16s 400m, Wall the under-14s girls 400m and Peet the under-15 girls 1500m ambulant.

They were part of a Tamworth Little Athletics Club contingent that performed strongly in some difficult conditions with the rain tumbling down on Sunday with Callum Dear also bringing home bronze in the under-20 boys triple jump.

Sawyer also jumped her way to eighth in the long jump.
