Tamworth Little Athletics: Isabella Wall and Isabella Sawyer medal at State Championships

Following on from a fantastic effort from the under-9s to under-12s in what were some difficult conditions at the 'Littles' championships, the club's under-13 to under-17s athletes had their chance to shine on the weekend and did just that with several podium finishes and numerous top 10 placings.

Wall picked up two medals, the young runner finishing second in both the under-13s girls 400m and 800m.

Isabella Sawyer meanwhile jumped her way to bronze in the under-14s girls high jump after clearing a personal best 1.61m. She was also 10^th in the long jump.
