Beaudesert and Districts Little Athletics Secretary, Amanda O’Shannessy, said it was a great result from such a small club with a small team of athletes.
“Next season I encourage as many athletes as possible to participate in regional relays,” she said.
“Despite being a smaller club, we have amazing talent which would well and truly rival other clubs!”
“Bring on regional championships in February 2024 where we once again get to showcase our incredible athletes!”
