🔍 REPRESENTING THE RED AND BLACK
All athletes competed in UTS Northern Suburbs Athletics colours. For context, U16s qualified through their zone registration pathway from last year, while older age groups could still enter directly through club. Athletes also had opportunities to qualify via Top 8 performances during the Treloar Shield series and other earmarked competitions if zone/region results didn't meet minimum requirements. This is the first year that the pathways program between Athletics NSW and Little Athletics NSW have applied this criteria.
